Worst scamming company I have ever seen. Haven't been able to ski due to weather and the lifts closed here at Falls creek. No refund just stupid snow credits only valid for 12mths. We are in Europe next year and was not planning on coming back. Disgraceful. Why on earth does anyone book early or want to come back?
