Summer in Falls Creek
Every year it seems that there is more happening at Falls over summer: more special events and more activities.- Mountain biking
- Road cycling - especially on the sealed Bogong High Plains Rd
- Bushwalking & guided walks
- Shuttle to Hotham so you can walk back across the high plains
- Wildflowers
- Geo-caching
- Horse-riding
- Fishing
- Fly-fishing lessons and guide
- Canoeing & boating (BYO)
- Skate ramp, basket-ball, tennis, gym
- Kid's Club daily activities from Boxing Day to end Jan
- Open-air cinema
- Day trips to wineries, boutique breweries and other attractions in the valleys
The summit chair will run from 27 Dec to 3 Jan (and probably some other times) for sightseeing and mountain biking.
You can see the scheduled events in the What's Coming Up calendar in the left column, or more info at www.fallscreek.com.au/Events.
When the rest of the state swelters, it is usually 10°C cooler at Falls Creek. AAC Falls Creek offers an inexpensive opportunity for a terrific summer holiday. Rates start at $25 per night for a member (min booking $220)

Important Falls Creek info via SMS
After the extreme weather and road closures in September, FCRM has decided to initiate an SMS broadcast service for Falls Creek residents, businesses and stakeholders. They will use the service to get important information to registered users as quickly as possible. This would have been invaluable when the road closure situation was changing and convoys were being organised. The service is free, and I have been assured that personal contact details will only be used by FCRM to supply resort information.
If you are a regular Falls Creek visitor and would like to receive these messages, please email willflamsteed@fallscreek.com.au and request that he register you for the SMS Broadcast Service. You need to supply the following information:

New design for the blog
Don't panic: you're not on the wrong website, we've just done a bit of redecorating.
The booking status has moved to it's own page - just click on the Booking Status tab, immediately below the Australian Alpine Club Falls Creek heading. Hope you find the new format easier to use.

Village roads have been cleared
On Monday FCRM cleared the village roads because there was really not enough snow to get around on.
The same arrangements will be place for drop off and pick up as those that applied earlier in the season. You can get a 30 min pass to drive the lodge and load/unload. Depending on conditions, you may be required to fit chains. Roads may be icy, so be careful driving and walking around the village.

Gotta love spring skiing
This little promo from Falls Creek on Wed 8th shows how good the spring conditions are. There is some inspirational footage of skiing down the back of Mt McKay.

Royal Visit?
While the rain was pouring down and the mountain was on windhold on Saturday 4th, AAC members were enjoying a game of celebrity heads.
Bogong High Plains Rd to Falls Creek is now open all hours
FCRM advise that Vicroads and Police have okayed the road to be open night and day.
There are still 2 sets of traffic lights where the road is reduced to one way (near Clover Dam and just below Turnback) and you should be cautious throughout the drive.
