Snow and Weather Report

It's clearing in the village with light to moderate winds from the southwest, gusting stronger about the peaks.

26 lifts are expected to open today across Perisher Valley, Blue Cow and Smiggin Holes, accessing some amazing powder snow covered terrain. (Please check with Guest Services and Lift Status Boards as conditions can vary lift operations).

In a word AWESOME! Another 25cm of light dry powder has blanketed the resort overnight, taking the total to 70cm in the last 7 days. Sub-zero overnight temperatures have kept the snow quality in excellent shape.

It will be one of those days that will sit in the memory banks for a long time. Does it get any better than this? Let's wait and see. With this much powder on a set base, skiing and boarding today will be magical.

Powder pillows, wind-drifts, light, dry, boot deep (much deeper in places), soft smooth groomers, it's all there today! Groomer's pick is Towers Run for the advanced and intermediates. Off-piste on Mt Perisher should be sublime.

Beginners up to intermediates try Wood Run, it has been prepped and is ready for your fresh turns.

Advanced skiers and boarders make fresh tracks on Zali's, it's had a run-over by the groomers, but should have a nice soft fresh layer sitting on top, just right for the taking.

OPENING THIS WEEKEND! How good will it be in the trees!!

The PlayStation Slopestyle Park on Front Valley is jammed full of great hits and grinds. After a day in the powder, this could be the perfect way to top it off for the freestylers.
