How To Obtain Group Discounts and Make a Booking

  • Please read the "Group Conditions" for a list of all conditions.
  • Your group MUST comprise of 20 or more paying people.
  • Pre booking is essential, at least 14 days prior to the group's arrival date and finalised 7 days prior to the groups arrival date. The earlier you book the better! Especially for groups having lessons as priority is given to whomever books first.
  • The information you will need to know prior to making a booking: Arrival date, Skiing date and duration, number of participants, pass type, preferred lesson location and time, number of skiers and boarders and ski hire requirements.
  • Submit an Online booking form via the links on this page. The group's coordinator will process your booking and send a booking confirmation to your designated e-mail address. Alternatively print the desired Booking Form and/or the Ski Hire Form (both found via links on this page) and fax to the Groups Coordinator on 02 6456 1020.
  • To avoid disappointment and delays please thoroughly check your booking confirmation. If you do not receive a booking confirmation you do not have a booking.

Save Time

Organise everything before you get here! Prearrange lessons, Hire, Skitube and Lift passes. Save loads of mountain time with queue priority in lift lines during lesson times.

Only one person needs to queue to pay for passes and/ or hire. For increased service and efficiency we suggest paying in advance, generally a week before arrival, therefore all passes can be preprinted and waiting for your collection.

Save Money

Discounted lift and lesson passes. Discounted hire rates. Free of charge passes and or hire to groups meeting certain criteria.

Continuing in 2008

Every season Perisher Blue is committed to developing new and improved products and facilities for our guests. The following serves to highlight some of our new initiatives and may not include the full terms and conditions.

At Perisher Blue we cater to all groups. To better service our guests we have two clearly defined group demographics, School groups consisting of students from a School or College up to and including year 12 and we have Social groups, which is basically every group not meeting the criteria of a School group.

  • Snowsports School - Lesson Duration for Social Groups. Maximise potential, see more of the mountain and increase coaching time by joining our NEW extended 2.5 hour group lesson. The 2.5 hour group lesson applies to any of our combined lift/lesson packages (excluding specific Kids programs). Lesson duration for School groups remain as 2 hours.

  • Snowsports School - Lesson Times for Social groups.
    Coordinated lesson times for Adults and Children at all of our Snowsports Schools making is easier to plan the day. Lesson times are 9.30am and 12.30pm at Smiggins and Blue Cow. Lesson times for School groups remain the same 9.30 and 11.30 at Blue Cow and Smiggins only.
    Note: All lessons meet 15 minutes prior to start time.

  • New 6 and 7 day consecutive passes for groups staying that little bit longer.
    Aimed at groups who check in on a Sunday afternoon and check out the following Saturday, or are staying Sunday to Sunday, however the pass can be for any 6 or 7 consecutive days.

  • Catering to our non-skiing guests who want a taste of the mountain activities or those who want to try something a bit different. It's the three in one pass. Includes return Skitube from Bullocks flat to Perisher Valley, a foot passenger ride on the Perisher Express Quad Chair (after 10.30am) and a taste of Snow Tubing with 5 fun filled rides. Or for the dedicated Tubing Thrill seekers, combine a return Skitube from Bullocks flat and 5 Tube rides.

  • Any Child/Student with a valid mountain pass can access Night Skiing for FREE.

More emphasis being placed on risk management we have decided to publish information that will assist with this process. A Risk Management Tool is available.
