Press Release

Today's snow conditions were, where it was sheltered, some of the best skiers and boarders have had this winter. And tomorrow it could be one the days of the winter if the forecasted bitterly cold weather and more snow eventuates.

Anywhere there are deep pockets of light snow it is sensational riding. The abrupt change in the weather at alpine resorts such as Falls Creek has had a huge influence on the operators of all the snow-related businesses.
Before it was what's going on with the weather? Now its as good as it gets on the south-facing slopes at arguably the most picturesque winter playground in the Victorian Alps.

The world's most exciting freeriders are also grateful (some more relieved than grateful as they've come a long way) for the fresh snow. It will be a huge boost for the annual Stylewars event which kicked-off today.

For the next four days there will some pretty crazy boarders getting some big air in the Ruined Castle Terrain Park.
