Falls creek is very good for beginners.
Mt Hotham and Mt Buller I think have beginner runs but they are not as easy as the ones at falls creek.

HOw long are you planning to go, it can get quite expensive. I think last time I went (at least 5 years ago) to FC my daily lift ticket was over $50, and I was probably a student so that was the concession rate.

If you get a package deal it might include hot breakky and stuff so that would be good. Your travel agent might be able to help, but you can also google the FC, Hotham or Buller (there are others too I am sure) and probably get something.

If you want to stay on the mountain it will cost more than if you stay in town at the foot and drive up during the day.

If you go for a package deal, make sure you know the type of place your staying at - I have stayed twice at Falls Creek on the mountain, once was pricy at over $120/night (accomodation only, not inc equip hire, lift tix etc) but it was 3*great* meals a day, really nice digs and a great spa.

The second time we went we stayed at the frying pan - more backpacker accomodation, so much cheaper.but still full of drunken louts at all hours. But its part of a pub, so you expect this.
