It’s hard to believe that we are in the second month of spring and our coverage continues to be solid, far and wide across the hill, with a natural base of over 130cm.
We’re winding down ever so slowly, but there’s plenty of terrain open across the hill. The iconic International POMA continues to turn, which has never turned this late in the season—EVER! It’ a sign of a seriously good season!!
After a record breaking 82 days of ski in ski out, minivans have replaced Snowcats in the village and locals are embracing the concrete. With temperatures warming up, the key is to get out early if your passion is carving, catching the corduroy before it softens, or if you’re more adventurous, go off piste and explore the natural features of the ungroomed terrain.
There’s a festival feel in the air as season 2017 winds down, and still plenty of fun to be had on the hill this Sunday, our closing day!
Firstly we’re auctioning off the old Eagle Chairs as we have announced a big summer project replacing that chair with a high speed quad! Own a bit of Falls Creek history and purchase an Eagle chair to take home with you. All the action starts in the Village Bowl at midday on Sunday 8th.
The fun doesn’t stop there; we also have a pond skim! Come along and watch all of the action, or take on the challenge for the chance to be a King or Queen of the Pond Skim for 2017.
The winners of the Falls Creek Amazing Race will be announced, and to finish things off, we’ve got the annual Big Dig! Thousands of dollars of prizes are buried deep, come along and take part in our alpine treasure hunt!
Enjoy the last few days of this amazing season, make the most of it, head on up here strap on your board or clip in your skis for a few last turns, and enjoy the best October skiing ever!!

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.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
