Snowmaking, Sub Zero Temps, & Storm Incoming: Long Weekend Skiing & Boarding is ON at Perisher!
Winter has officially clocked in at Perisher, and we’re kicking off the 2025 snow season with some exciting news. After a mammoth 72-hour snowmaking effort, freezing cold temps and a sweet dusting of natural snow this past week, we’re beyond stoked to announce: skiing and boarding is ON at Perisher this June Long Weekend!
What's Expected to Operate this Weekend
Our mountain operations team has been working around the clock with over 100 snow guns blazing, grooming machines putting in the work, and all hands on deck to get the resort ready for Opening Weekend turns.
Thanks to ideal snowmaking conditions (cheers to that sub-zero chill!), we’re stoked to offer our families and beginner guests access to a carpet on Front Valley.
The Perisher Parks crew will also be busy over the next day or two dropping in mini park on Front Valley to get us sliding sideways from day one.
This June Long Weekend at Perisher is shaping up to be one of the best in recent years, not only thanks to some solid early-season conditions, but with the potential to see the V8 spin this Opening Weekend!
PLUS, Winter Storm Incoming!
If that’s not enough to raise your stoke, there’s a potentially huge winter storm headed our way with the forecast currently calling for well over 40cm of snow to fall in the next 7 days!
