Our membership of Falls Creek Alpine Association entitles the club to a limited number of discount cards. The cards need to be shared so they are pinned to the board on the firewood cupboard. If you are using a card, please return it asap so that others can benefit too.

Some of the establishments need to see the actual card

June snowfalls meant that most lifts were open for school holidays. And by 13 July, even International was running. 

This graph from This Week in Falls Creek still tells the story of our June snow against the average year. There is still time to grab a few vacancies in August and plenty in September

The resort is trying to reduce waste so information is mainly online. The Insider Guide has all the most important info about Falls Creek, including taril maps, ski lesson information, places to eat. You can download it here of via a QR code poster in the foyer at the lodge. There is also a QR code for making bookings for the Windy Corner toboggan slope.

Jess is posting some beautiful photos as the season unfolds. You can see images like this at @lodgemanageraacfc on Instagram.

A member became ill during his lodge stay and had to be transported to hospital. Everything turned out OK, but it made us think about how we could contact next-of-kin or another emergency contact in a similar situation. We recommend that you add an Emergency Contact to your member record in the booking system.

In menu Members->View My Details you can insert in the Comment field something like Emergency Contact: Fred Bloggs 0412 345 678. Then hit the Update button near top left. In an Emergency the booking officer or other authorised club officials can then look up that record.

This is a recommendation for the peace of mind of you and your family/close friends. It is by no means compulsory.

(If you choose to write an Emergency Contact in the Guest Notes for a specific booking, it may not be found for other bookings. Putting it in the member details should make it easier to find)

The race was held in foggy conditions on Father Fosters. A good course, with few icy sections but very low visibility.

Thanks to Ella B for the video

Falls Creek Ski Lifts have announced that the season will end on Wed 20 September because "this last week of warm and windy weather, along with the forecast of more of the same, with some rain, means we will not be able to operate safely past this Wednesday".

Time to start planning your Green Season visit to the lodge.

You may have noticed that the our newsletters are a little different. We are moving away from the bulk email system that has sent out our newsletters for over a decade. Instead newsletters will be sent using the booking system.

We like to think that our newsletters provide useful information and interesting news about the club and Falls Creek. However, in line with the Spam Act, you have the right to opt out of non-essential emails. This mainly relates to our newsletters.

All booking emails and important emails about membership (eg AGM notices and annual subs) are essential emails. If you choose to opt out of non-essential emails, you will still receive these.

To opt-out of non-essential emails from AAC Falls Creek, log on to the booking system and go to menu Member/View My Details

At top right you can tick the Opt out of non-essential emails box and the click Save Updated Member Details

Email from other AAC clubs

Each AAC club makes its own judgement about which emails are non-essential. If you opt out and later opt in again, other clubs may not know until you log in there again.

In recent months the bathrooms in Rooms 13 and 14 have been renovated with new basins, vanities, flooring, toilets and shower bases that double as baths for small children.

Here are some photos as the work progressed, through to the finished product.  

Meanwhile, work has been completed to find and repair the leak in the spa.

It's now back fully functioning, but from these pictures you can see just how much work it took!  Thanks to all involved. 

Work has started to convert Room 7 from a double with a single bunk above to two singles, so it will have the same layout as Rooms 5 and 12.

A few photos will be taken over the coming weeks and we'll show the progress and finished product in an upcoming newsletter.

Each year during the green season there are several weekends the minimum fee and occupancy will not apply to open and use the Lodge.

This year these are The Peaks Challenge, a 235 km road cycling event equivalent to a mountain stage of the Tour de France. It's held on Friday 8 March through until Monday 11 March, more details available from the Bicycle Network and Falls Creek. 

Falls Creek Easter Festival is on from Thursday 28 March until Tuesday 2 April. With cafes and restaurants open, mountain bike shuttles, walks and eggs everywhere, perhaps this is the time to see our mountain without the snow? Check out all the Easter fun here.

What is Balcony Cam? It started with a group of members chatting about the Resort snow cams never showing what the snow is like in our part of the Village. 

Since we have the best view on the Mountain it was agreed we could take some photos on a regular basis through the season so you can check before you come up... or torture yourself!

Ably led by Tom Harrington our Lodge Supervisor and nourished by Jess, the Lodge was whipped into shape for the new season.

The tasks completed included replacing mattresses, general repairs, cleaning windows, BBQ, kitchen and stacking the firewood to name a few.

Some photos of our volunteers in action follow.

Deep cleaning the kitchen and all the items in it, 

cobweb removal, inside and out, 

moving several tonnes of fire wood off the road above the lodge... 

installing a slide on the hill behind the back kitchen door...

then sliding it down, handing each wood block along the chain to finally stack in the cellar.
