As the lifts stop spinning for the 2025 snow season at Falls Creek, it’s time to look back on what was an amazing season. From the first snowfall on opening weekend through to the inaugural September School Holidays Festival, there have been many unforgettable moments both on and off the slopes.
“This season saw a total of 368cm of natural snowfall, consistently delivered across the winter, creating some of the best conditions we’ve seen in years,” said Betony Pitcher, Falls Creek’s Field Marketing Manager. “A huge thank you to all our guests, staff and community who made Falls Creek so special this winter and we can’t wait to welcome you back to create more memories in 2026.”
The season began in spectacular fashion, with Mother Nature transforming the mountain from green to white overnight as a 71cm snowstorm rolled through on opening weekend, adding to the incredible work from the snowmaking and grooming team who put the brand-new TechnoAlpin snow guns to the test pre-season.
This year also saw the village thriving with 29 unique dining options, as well as a wide variety of chalets and lodges offering ski-in-ski-out convenience for 89 days from June through September. New to the mountain was the gondola bar outside the Frying Pan Inn, which utilised a Swiss gondola repurposed for après fun. The renovation of the impressive Cloud 9 on-mountain restaurant, cafe and facility culminated after a multi-year development, offering unique, cosy spaces with spectacular mountain views.
Thanks to consistent natural snowfall and snowmaking efforts, terrain opened quickly, and by mid-July 100% of lifts were spinning and all terrain was open, a testament to the hard work of our mountain operations teams, who kept everything running smoothly through de-icing, digging out chairs and round-the-clock dedication.
Events were a true highlight of the 2025 season. The inaugural Junior Freeride gave young athletes the opportunity to showcase their impressive skills, proving the future of freeride skiing and snowboarding is bright. Falls Creek’s terrain parks also came alive, with all three parks: Castle, Panorama and Drovers, open and buzzing. Jumps, rails, and the brand-new Ruckus Rail Jam were a fun part of the season.
As winter rolled into spring, Mother Nature kept delivering. With a base of over 1.4 metres, guests enjoyed some of the best spring conditions we’ve had in years. Bluebird days, soft turns, and plenty of après fun created an atmosphere that will be remembered for seasons to come. To close it all out, Falls Creek introduced the inaugural September School Holidays Festival, bringing families together for donut decorating, twilight skiing, fireworks, a visit from Pete the Snow Dragon and the return of the Pond Skim. It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of such a memorable season.
