This is just a simple note to the Webmaster for this site Snow-forecast.com. The official opening for season 2015, at Falls Creek, is the weekend of Friday 5th of June, with Monday 8th being the Queen's Birthday weekend holiday in Victoria. Could I suggest that you amend your records to include the correct date for opening weekend.
