Falls Creek, Victoria - SNOWCENTRAL
A true alpine village with everything you need and true ski in ski out lodging throughout the resort, Falls Creek certainly has plenty of appeal. The village sits in an alpine bowl above the snowline and lifts allow you to access both sides of the mountain. Situated next to a large lake means that Falls has unlimited access to water for snowmaking, the result is an impressive cover even in marginal times, in fact many lodges offer a "snow guarantee".
With a wide range of skiing and boarding available Falls Creek has a lot to offer. The playground region offers excellent beginners skiing while intermediates will revel in the variety of Sun Valley. While these runs aren't as long as some other resorts there is a fantastic range of intermediate skiing to suit most Australian skiers and boarders.
An excellent dedicated terrain park is built each year and often has the largest half pipe in Australia. Occasionally criticised for not having enough advanced skiing this comment is usually made by those who don't know the resort. Access to Wishing Well and Valley of the Moon off the top of the Summit Quad and International Poma provide a large area of usually unexplored skiing as does Kat skiing on Mt McKay.
