Opening Weekend is almost here, and the excitement across Falls Creek is building as we prepare to welcome guests back to the mountain from Saturday 6 June.  

Mother nature has delivered a timely reminder that winter is well and truly here, with 10cm of fresh snowfall overnight blanketing the resort. There’s nothing quite like seeing the village and slopes transformed under a fresh layer of white.  

Wild and wintery conditions are expected to continue throughout the day, with showers, strong winds and low temperatures creating a very alpine feel across the resort.  The forecast is continuing to look promising too, with Weatherzone currently predicting further snowfall in the lead up to the long weekend.   

Our snowmaking team has also been making the most of every cold weather window, with the Techno Alpin snow guns firing whenever conditions allow. Combined with natural snowfall, the team is working around the clock to build the foundations for a fantastic winter season ahead.  

As we count down to Opening Weekend, keep a close eye on our social channels, app and snow report for the latest operational updates. The anticipation around the resort is growing, the crews are ready, and we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to the mountain.
