In the early years vehicles were not allowed to be driven to Falls Creek.   All vehicles had to be left near Howmans Gap.  Skiers had to trek up the mountain as our picture shows these skiers in the early years are on their way to Falls Creek, Spion Kop on left. Going round Ropers Corner near the 18 mile post.   ( Looking N.E.  from Big River Fire Track)
