2 Falls Creek & Mount Beauty THIS WEEK ~ Summer 2017 Edition THIRTEEN THE ICE PLUNGE Real Welcome to Winter ur regular stars of the Ice Plunge are just sorting their costumes for the ‘One and Only’ event that Omarks the start of winter. But the secret will be kept until the day – just like Meghan’s dress. Let’s just say it will be in keeping with the start of winter. Dress up is a good way to go with lots of fun and photos – all promoting the start of winter. In some European countries the start of winter is a big celebration – and we here at Falls Creek use the day and the event for several reasons. Firstly, the day and the Ice Plunge provide great media activity and in the past, with the event held at 10am – it has been seen on National News at midday! Another reason we put on the Ice Plunge is for all new staff to the resort. This is their ‘Right of Passage’ to work in Falls Creek and if you haven’t done the Ice Plunge, someone who has might be looking for Come and enjoy a fabulous warm and tasty breakfast courtesy of our local SES team Phil Rookes, Brett Williams your job. and Mark Weir.
