SKIING & SNOWBOARDING
FALLS CREEK TERRAIN
GREEN, BLUE & BLACK
Falls Creek features a massive 450 hectares of skiable terrain - that's the largest of any resort in Victoria. With roughly 90 runs accessed by 14 lifts, there is something to suit everybody's ability.
60% of Falls Creek's terrain are intermediate (blue) runs in what we like to call "progression perfect" terrain. Nowhere else offers such opportunity to improve your your skiing or riding with a gentle step up to a slightly longer, steeper or more technical run.
| Terrain | Green | Blue | Black |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downhill | 17% | 60% | 23% |
| Cross Country | 33% | 48% | 19% |
| Terrain Park Lines | 2 | 2 | 1 |
Those at the beginners end of the spectrum will have great fun in the Drovers area and on Wombat's Ramble - Australia's longest green run (at 2.2km). Nervous to ride a lift for the first time with skis on? No problems - Halleys Comet and the new Eagle Express are both detachable lifts which mean you can ride them without skis on fora simple step-off at the top.
For the advanced rider the Summit is packed with steep black runs and is the launching pad for the deep powder stashes and tree runs of the Maze. Ride International for the longest Poma ride in the country, packed with a steep climb and iconic "Corner", for the best access to Falls Creek's black runs.
