The long-awaited moment has arrived at Falls Creek as the final and highly anticipated chairlift begins operation, just in time for the school holidays.

Thanks to an impressive 71cm of snowfall over the past week, the mountain operations team has meticulously groomed the summit area, offering riders access to some of the resort's best intermediate and advanced trails.
