Falls Creek, VIC

It was a shame really. After a 5 hr drive and with a sense of wanting to taste a bit of snow on the boards, what we got - nothing.

Falls Creek is the only Australian ski resort to boast ski-in ski-out but unfortunately due to the unseasonably warm August (plus heavy rain the week before) all the snow had melted and it was either patchy snow, icy areas or both.

A weekend wasted - could not justify paying another $106 for the daily tix (we had already paid $70 for resort entry, got Alpine fuel and 2 days accommodation).

Thankfully we are heading to Whistler, BC next yr.

View of the only snow on the mountain top. This time last yr - there was snow cover all the way to the mountain valley!
