A true winter wonderland with a European style ski-in ski-out village it’s the perfect place for a family holiday. For first timers to the snow, whether you’re ready to learn to ski or snowboard or seeing snow for the first time, Falls Creek is the best choice.
There’s a free village shuttle to make getting around easy, and not one but two scenic chairlifts! Gully Chair will take you from the carpark to the village bowl, and Halley’s Comet from Slalom Plaza up to Cloud 9 at the top of the mountain! Imagine having lunch up in the clouds at 1780m, what a great experience! If you’re ready to learn to ski, Cloud 9 is also the home of our renowned Snowsports School.
There are lots of characters who make Falls Creek so special and without a doubt Pete the Dragon is one of the most loved! Pete has been visiting Falls Creek for over a decade, and you can find him toasting marshmallows in the village bowl during Twilight Tuesdays, enjoying the fireworks and taking part in the night snow on a Thursday night, and if you’re really lucky, you’ll see him out on the hill!
That’s right Pete is a proud member of our Snowsports School, he’s often up at Cloud 9 motivating and supporting our snowclub kids, and if you’re really lucky, you might see him in action coming down the mountain.
Pete can ski and he can snowboard, and with our talented instructors he can help make learning fun for the kids. Visit www.skifalls.com.au for great holiday deals and local advice about Falls Creek and you too can have your photo taken with Pete!
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
