General overall well run resort.

Christopher D

I have found the falls creek staff and care for the downhill and XC grooming very efficiant. The are a number of languages spoken on the mountain. It is a resort where you put your skis on at the front door and ski all day.

Snow much fun!!

So many runs to choose from and the lines for the lift move quickly! Great atmosphere, by far the best place in Victoria to head to the snow!

Snow and lots of it.

Awesome weekend snowboarding in the snow. Over 2 meters of natural snow. All lifts working. Staff very friendly and resort wasn’t packed. Loved it.
