falls has got it right here, there isnt the constant niggling between skiers and boarders that seems to be everywhere else. a lot seem to go out to one section where ther are obstacles and jumps etc at which there is constant loud heavy music blaring. that will mean different things to different people. And the fact that there is a separation of the skiers and more gung ho boarders helps – see below.ħ. everyone is on holiday rather than just skiing. i reckon it has something to do with the fact that you are away from traffic and roads and such things. much more laid back, people are friendlier. It was the only place on the mountain where the staff did not smile. The main place called cloud 9 is like a huge high school canteen. having said that there is a cafe called dicky knee which was pretty good. lots of stuff youd expect at the suburban footy match. atmosphere much much better than hotham which seems to have only rowdy bars and greasy spoons.ĥ. and there is something for everyone - fancy and/or expensive, quality without being too expensive, there is a place for the hippy types, a number of rowdy bars, some down to earth places and a decent japanesey sort of place. i was very happy with the prices they could well have been higher. can be pricey but hey so is eating out in central melbourne/sydney. totally different but boy what a difference it became actually fun and in control going down ice.)Ĥ. after all i thought i knew he said well forget all that and start carving turns. i didnt bother and instead went for some private lessons with an older guy named don who was quite good. (btw little tiger/currawong et al thanks for your advice re buying skis. i am not that good a skier so can't really authoritatively comment, although the consensus seems to be that falls isnt for advanced skiers. advanced - i think there is a lot more stuff at hotham but there is a section of falls called the maze which was very challenging (too much for me in the conditons last week). i absolutely abhor it and will not miss it. people, runs, rain, out of control skiers and boarders. hotham - everything seems to end up in one gully. beginner/intermediate - muuuuuuch better. my observations to anyone who might be tossing up between falls and hotham -Ģ. i usually go to hotham but have been to a few others. I just spent a week in falls creek for the first time.
