Skiing for everyone from beginners to advanced...
Con
Expensive (like all ski villages)
In a nutshell
If you like snow, you'll love this place in the winter. :)
petwouters Says: Wallace's Hut is one of the many alpine huts still standing on the high plains. This one in particular is very easily accessible (in autumn anyway, not sure about in wintertime).Built over six weeks in 1889 by the Wallace brothers Arthur, William and Stewart, Wallaces Hut is...
kelyeah Says: There are snow taxis that you can book to take you to different parts of the village. We booked one to take all eleven of us on a tour of the village and back to where we were staying. I was a great way to check the place out and it made me realize just how big Falls Creek...
kelyeah Says: A free show for kids that is held in the Village Bowl. It's a great show for kids where Pete the Dragon arrives on a custom snow mobile, does some songs and dances then gives all the kids high fives and free show bags.
kelyeah Says: This was fantastic!! I went as a passenger which was cheaper but the tour guide let me have a drive too! I recommend driving if you can afford it as it's so much fun but you will get tired as the steering is pretty heavy. The day I went it was snowing in the Village Bowl but...
kelyeah Says: This is so much fun, I did it 2 or 3 times while I was in Falls Creek.The snow tubing run is in the Village Bowl between the Eagle and Summit lifts. It costs $17 for half an hour (in 2008), which is plenty of time! You buy the tickets from the Activity Desk with is right net...

CandS Says: Watch the weather, it can change instantly... We went up one morning and it was sunny and 'warm'...not long after it turned into a blizzard... I recommend that you take warm clothes in a backpack if you plan to spend the day up on the mountains and it looks like it will be a...
CandS Says: If you plan to drive up to Falls Creek in the winter time you will need to carry chains for your tyres...you may not need to use them but it is better to be safe than sorry... :) Also remember to drive to the conditions...it can get very slippery up there in the snowy/wet...
CandS Says: If you're trying to watch the $$ you spend then it's a good idea to take your own food/drinks with you to the snow...the prices at Falls Creek are very high (like all snow resorts). For example: A glass of Coke can cost up to A$4!!! Take your own food - or at least snacks...
CandS Says: It's not really a tourist trap but just something to be aware of... When entering the resort you must pay an entry fee...we weren't aware of it and hadn't factored it into our budget. The entry is around $23 for a days stay up to about $125 for a weeks stay (plus $17 each...
CandS Says: Don't take too much if possible because you have to lug your bags from the car park to your accommodation up the mountain...or if you're smart you can hire an 'Oversnow' vehicle...just don't do what we did two years in a row and 'talk' about it rather than actually taking...
lesaandbill Says: Rocky Valley Bikes and Outdoors is located in Mt Beauty...and a cheaper place to rent ski, boards, etc. They were a great crew to work with...and had great hours. They even have an internet cafe to check the ski conditions before driving up to Falls Creek.
Skiing/Snowboarding is what it's about in Winter!
aussiedoug Says: Plenty for all levels from rank beginners through mediocre intermediates (that's me!) to experts and a great ski school to help move you along again no matter what level of skiier you are (or think you are). You can bring it all or hire it all! Gebie's on the right as you...
CandS Says: Most people visit Falls Creek in the winter to go downhill skiing (like us) but you can also try tobogganing, snow boarding, snow mobile tours or just playing in the snow generally... :) We hired most of our skiing gear from one of the many hire shops in the village.
CandS Says: Here's me trying to work out how to use these skiing things on my first day in 2002... ;) I think everyone should try skiing at least once in their lifetime...it can be fun...even for the beginners...and who knows you might get addicted. I was lucky enough to learn fairly...
CandS Says: The Village Bowl is at the top of the Gully chair lift... You will find shops, restaurants, night skiing, accommodation, lift ticket sales etc at the Village Bowl.
CandS Says: The Playground is an easy (green) run for the skiing beginners...this is where I spent almost all of my time in 2002. :) It is a very easy run with a steeper section at the top for learners who are getting a bit gamer. :) It is also close to the Cloud 9 restaurant so you can...
CandS Says: This is where we stayed while at Falls Creek... If you are good enough you can even take this track down to the chair lift...but even on foot it is a bit difficult so be careful!!

Panorama is a 'green' (beginners) run at Falls Creek. It's not as easy as The Playground but is the next step up... I finally managed to do this run on my last...
Q: Can anyone tell me where I can watch the rugby or other footy whilst in falls creek
A: Are we talking about winter time....are you in budget accommodation without facilities...are you there now? There are lots of little chalets with TV ....you cannot...

I went to Falls Creek in September 2002 with some friends for a skiing trip...my first skiing trip... :) My second skiing trip was in August 2003 and the place looked so different because there was a...

It mightn't be the biggest (Perisher Blue in my home state of New South Wales is that), it mightn't be the glitziest (possibly Thredbo in N.S.W. and/or Mt Buller in Victoria takes that prize), but for...
