The snow gods have been kind to us so far this year but there has not been a lot of sunshine. September can be lovely skiing. There is still usually a good depth of snow, the days are longer and the sun shines on many days. It's a perfect time for a relaxed stay, and ideal if you are introducing beginners to the snow.

Grand Final weekend is a great atmosphere on the mountain, especially at the FC Hotel next door.

Don't forget that members can grab a cheeky midweek stay (5 nights) for just $234 in off-peak, even less from 22 Sept.

July has seen the resort car parks filling up on weekends and entry refused to those who have not planned ahead. This could happen on other busy days.

Holders of resort entry season passes will be allowed entry, as will anyone with pre-purchased resort entry or proof of booked accommodation. So be prepared. Buy your entry permit ahead of time (which is cheaper anyway) or be ready to show your booking confirmation if requested.

STOP PRESS: From Friday 16th Towers and Mouse Trap will be open for skiing/boarding and Halleys for access

Season 2023 kicked off on 10th June with a pretty dusting in the resort and a full lodge of members and guests to celebrate. 

This year AACFC hosted the Mountain Muister which was a great opportunity to mingle with members of other clubs.

The dusting may have melted away but since the weekend we've seen some more serious snow and more predicted for Sunday into next week.

Keep an eye on the booking system for vacancies as the season unfolds. There are plenty of opportunities in June and still a few in July and August.

 Have a great winter 2023, on the slopes and in the lodge

 Thanks to Hugh and Lynn for pictures and reports from the weekend
