Falls Creek announce early bird sale of 2021 Season Permits

Falls Creek Resort has announced that it has commenced the sale of its 2021 Resort Entry Season Permits.

Those wanting to secure the Permits for the Early Bird price of $375 can do so up 5pm on 29th March by opting to pay a $99 deposit with the balance payable on 15th April.

If snowsports enthusiasts miss the 29th March deadline, the Early Bird price is available until 5pm on 15th April 2021 but without the deposit option while for over 65s Passes are further discounted to $325.

Hopeful that the skifields will be fully operational in 2021, Falls Creek Resort Management Chief Executive, Stuart Smythe noted “last year was tough, to say the least.

“Our resort guests were tremendously supportive and understanding, given the circumstances, so freezing prices and increasing flexibility is a small gesture of thanks.

“Following the halt of the 2020 Snow Season due to the pandemic, we’re excited to be the first resort in Victoria to offer our Resort Entry Season Permit for sale in 2021 in the Early Bird sale. We are all keen to welcome back our valued guests to enjoy the open spaces, diverse terrain and the unbeatable experiences on offer at Falls Creek.”

Commenting on 2020 refunds, Smythe added “last year, we fully refunded those that were unable to use their Resort Entry Permits due to the stay at home orders, border restrictions and resort closure.

“(But now) we can’t wait to see everyone back in the resort this season although we are mindful that government health directives may still be in place and abided by visitors.”

The Alpine Resort Coordinating Council have confirmed there will not be an All Resorts Season Permit available in 2021.
