Falls Creek reports that opening weekend has arrived with proper winter conditions, creating cold temperatures and consistent snowfall that provide a solid foundation for the start of the season.
Mount Hotham's Impressive Start

Despite minimal ground coverage yesterday, intensive snowmaking operations over recent days have allowed the resort to open terrain today.
