Interesting, was that on the cards or out of the blue

 

I wonder if they want a CEO from the disability industry with many years of skiing knowledge including running a FC web site for 15 years and owning 3 properties up there for a while.

Would be a nice career change

 

Give it a whirl

 

I hear Ted Weeks sold Mountain Multiservice. Not many of the old guard left in Falls Creek now.

 

I understand a guy from the lift co has bought it (part of a couple it would appear), my understanding is Ted will continue to sell real estate on the mountain

 

A lot of good and a LOT of ski holiday booking experience has bought the business. Can understand Phantom sticking with the real estate sales as neither of the new owners fit that bill IMO.

 

There will be two flights ex-Adelaide to Wangaratta this winter coordinated by the Hothambus + FallsBus operator

 

More flights into Albury and new flights into Wang sound interesting. I guess the Wang flights will be package deals out of Adelaide.

 

Hey Skipress - do you know which operator is running these flights?

 

gaz35 See enclosed. Scoop aka SkiPress
North East Coachlines ( Successful operators of FallsBus & HothamBus ) - Is offering partner properties the opportunity to join in with our direct Adelaide Coach & Turbo Prop Services ( Under 5 hours to the snow ) starting in 2016

 

Couple of days back a baby was delivered in the Medical Centre. Short labour and a bit prem, caught everyone out. Said to be the first delivery there and a lucky one with a birthing kit recently acquired and a GP on duty who'd done some postgrad obstetrics training.

 

Wow - hope Mum & bub are doing well! Arriving on the mountain that bambino has been born to ski

 

Yep. Dad's director of snow sports or somesuch.

 

I remember a couple of years back that I was only charged half entry price as I was driving solo. I didn't ask, they just offered. would this still be current practice does anyone know?

 

I think I saw a post earlier in the season that would suggest that the answer is no

 

I was looking at lift tickets earlier in the week and there was an option for a Mid Week Madness (Tues-Thurs) in August and September. Clicking on this option gave and error and the option has now disappeared. Does anyone know if this something that will be released and had accidentally been added to the website?

 

I would think it had accidentally not been deleted

 

September usually has white space if coupled with accommodation

 

Anyone here in Bright?
Hotel we have booked for the weekend are not picking up their phone... not sure they're still there. Local may be able to tell me.

 

Coach house inn

 

Pretty sure they are still there @marv hucker . Did you get onto them?

 

Nup. 1800 number or 57- number

Sometimes get through to the "leave a message to be sent as a text", most often not. Tried all times of day.

 

Yeah filled in their online form about Monday... crickets

FYI got onto them eventually.
for anyone staying at the coach house inn... The 1800 number is dead and the advertised reception hours are a bit hopeful

 

Cool.
Well and truly earned.

Just heard that Lyn Gibbs from the Lift Company died today, she must have been in her mid to late 60s.
R.I.P

 

Lyn was a constant at the Lift Co, working through it's different ownerships. Not sure how many years she has worked in Falls Creek, but she was there when I first started skiing there in 1985.

 

Lynne had a close connection to these forums and specifically to @Ian D and @Richard particularly throughout the 2000s

 

This is very sad news for me.

Lyn was instrumental to the existence of this site.

An unwavering supporter of our snow cams and ski.com.au for the eighteen years we supplied services to Falls Creek and Hotham. As GM, Lyn personally looked after myself and Ian for the many many years of our snow cam service trips and was always available when we needed to work with other departments ensuring top-level support.

 

I am told she had been suffering from a very painful form of cancer and her death is a welcome release from her pain

 

Wow just read this , very sad indeed ..
Lyn was a great advocate for Falls Creek
Had many associations with her and Deb Howie over the years.
Very passionate about what she did ..

 

That is very sad news

She was a fantastic supporter of falls and as Richard said very active on the forums in the early days

Had many a lively discussion with her and ASB regarding FC in those times

 

Apresski your comment is appropriate. Lyn fought valiantly and I believe she is now amongst so many Falls Creek identities we have had the pleasure to meet and work alongside.

 

It would be really nice for the Management crew to do something for Gibbo, as they did for Lorna Dunkley, also a beautiful lady, always remembered.

 

what would you suggest as the best value option for a 2 week trip to falls ?

e.g. get 2 of these and a 2 day ticket ?

based on 2016 prices, a season ticket for an adult is too much for 14 days...

 

Not convinced that you would be able to load (buy) more than one of these passes per snowpass (e card). Maybe you can.

 

I see on FB that it is snowing in Falls Creek.

 

This has long been my theory,consequently, I am rather pleased Baw Baw only got about 1 cm
