450 hectares, 92 runs, 14 lifts – it’s a match made in heaven for skiers and snowboarders.
There are few things more exhilarating than weaving your way down a mountain, poles crunching in the snow and powder jettisoning from your skis as you execute perfect turns. For those who prefer things sideways, strapping into your snowboard bindings for the first run of the season or for your very first time is equally exciting.
Falls Creek’s diverse terrain is ideal for all skill levels. Runs like Wombats Ramble (the longest green run in Australia) and Drovers Dream are perfect for beginners. Intermediates are literally spoilt for choice with the blue runs of Sun Valley and Ruined Castle providing an excellent range of gradually harder runs to test themselves out on – we call it “progression-perfect” terrain.
For the serious slider, almost a quarter of the skiable area at Falls Creek is advanced terrain. This means steep and fast black runs with plenty of trees and powder stashes.

The toboggan slope is located at Windy Corner, near the Cross Country Ski trailhead. Toboggans are available from most snowsport rental outlets throughout the village or from the Cross Country Ski Centre at the Windy Corner carpark.

There are also restrictions on the type of craft you can use on the toboggan slope. Moulded plastic toboggans weighing under 2.5kg are the only craft allowed. Please be mindful of this restriction and that it has been put in place by Ski Patrol for the safety of all visitors using the slope.
