Perisher

Snowy Mountains

Australia

Perisher is the largest ski resort in Australia, located in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales inside Kosciuszko National Park. It comprises four linked areas — Perisher Valley, Smiggin Holes, Blue Cow, and Guthega — together offering a very large skiable terrain served by dozens of lifts, terrain for beginners through advanced, snow parks, cross-country trails, and modern amenities. The resort’s elevation ranges from around 1,720 meters at base to just over 2,050 meters at the highest lifted point. The ski season generally runs from June through early October, depending on weather and snow cover. Perisher is accessible by road or via the Skitube (a rack railway) which helps with access especially in winter. It has many terrain parks, a superpipe, several high-speed lifts, and a good mix of slopes: many intermediate runs, decent beginner terrain, and some more challenging options. Snowmaking and grooming are used to maintain snow quality. The resort also caters to families, offers lodging, dining, and is part of the Epic Australia pass network under Vail Resorts.
