Falls Creek summary

Falls Creek is 356kms (about 4.5 hours) from Melbourne and approximately eight hours' drive from Sydney. Falls Creek enjoys some of the best snow cover of all the Victorian ski Resorts, combined with the ambiance of a beautiful Alpine Village. It has 450 hectares of ski terrain for the downhill and snowboarding enthusiast and a fully integrated lift network. For the cross country and ski touring skiers, the Bogong High Plains offer some of the most beautiful mountain scenery anywhere. 2004 saw the addition of a super pipe, the first in Australia, and Falls Creek continues to develop new terrain for riders. The real attraction of this resort is the opportunity to ski at the adjacent Mt McKay, with 365m of true black diamond terrain. Guided snow cat trips take place twice a day and it is well worth the trip. Off the slopes, Falls Creek has more than 4,200 beds in the village ranging from economy style to luxury. There is a variety of self contained apartments, commercial lodges, and self catering lodges. Off-mountain accommodation is available at Mt. Beauty, Bo gong Village, and Howman's Gap.

Visitor Reviews of Falls Creek

Josh from AUSTRALIA writes:

I visited Falls Creek in late July 2006 and I must say, I was EXTREMELY disappointed. After riding in Canada for 4 previous seasons, the terrain at Falls was not challenging and limited to say the least. Less than half the runs were open (due to a 25cm snow base-most of it man made) and we still paid FULL PRICE for our lift tickets ($96). The conditions were horrible, it rained every day we were there, and most of the cover was slush or ice. It was, in my opinion, a wasted trip. (I live in Perth)
My advice to any avid skier/boarder is to stay away from ANY Australian ski resort. They are simply not worth it. Go to North America where the real snow is.
