A dusting of fresh snow overnight Tuesday had Falls Creek and Mt Hotham alpine resorts blanketed in white on Wednesday morning, buoying expectations ahead of school holiday guests arriving this weekend.
“Our snow depth is sitting around 95cm, which is amazing for this time of year,” said Betony Pitcher, Falls Creek’s field marketing manager.
“Now’s one of the best times of the year to learn how to ski or snowboard with milder days, late-season discounts and fantastic snow.
"There’s just a few weeks left for people to come up and enjoy our beautiful alpine environment before the season ends on Sunday, 5 October.”
Falls Creek has its inaugural September School Holiday Festival on for the final fortnight of this season and it includes kids’ workshops and donut decorating, as well as twilight skiing and the iconic Pond Skim event.
