perisher blue ski resort

Perisher Ski Resort is a resort for all. Whether you are a beginner or training for the Olympics this is the place for you. There are 4 resorts in one and all interlinked. You can take all day to explore each place. There are plenty of places to eat, and plenty of places to stay.You can get lessons from the best instructors the world over.

Did a free first tracks session on a Sunday. Not for beginners as only one lift is open. Lucky to have a beautiful clear sunny day that had snowed the night before. Absolutely awesome. Free due to hubby having a freedom pass.

Perisher offers a variety of ski activities and the staff are so helpful and friendly.. The atmosphere is fantastic. Our family had an awesome ski holiday.

The resort has access to Perisher, Blue Cow, and Guthega, Slope skill varies from beginner to double black. It's opened up so much over the past 20 years, that crowds and queues are rarely a problem. Start as soon as the lifts start, get across to Mount Perisher, and enjoy virgin groomed slopes, if conditions allow. August is usually the best month. If the season is good, September/early October can offer great Spring skiing, but after midday, the snow can get sloshy.

Great kids ski program - even the reluctant one enjoyed it!Huge amount of intermediate terrain.We are used to skiing in NZ where the resorts are smaller (but more challenging with sometimes scary views) so our eldest was a bit nervous about investigating other areas of the resort (as in her experience this has almost always lead to a black run!) but once she got used to the size of the resort had a great time exploring.We encountered a surprising amount of young male snow boarders that were rude and crass to both us and the children at the resort - perhaps the resort should dedicate some $$ to combating this behaviour.

Plenty of Snow & short lift lines away from Front Valley.Plenty of terrain choice, good linking of chairs

Had a fabulous week skiing, great amenities - beautiful part of the world. The lift pass technology and ability to track where you are and how long and far you rode made for a fun afternoon comparing one another's day - check out the perisher app on the phone. Kids had lessons and staff were fantastic.

Ok So our second trip to Perisher, and a much better review. The snow, it was good, not Canada good, but good. We skiied 4 days, and the last day did nearly 4k vert in half a day. The highlights, early mornings on Excellerator, and Rock and Roll, and the terrain off Guthega.Food rubbish and costs too much but which ski resort is this not true for?We liked it so much we beacme engaged to be married there.Will I go back, yes, but only if the snow is good, as I have been there when it is bad, and yuck.Lifties were awesome with a howdy and a smile. That goes a long way.The car Park.....Please please, put some numbers in the thing, rows at least. Try finding a white Outlander in the car park......just try it.Look just give it a go, have fun, that is what the snow is for!

Despite plenty of snow, beautiful sunny days, and the commitment to an extended season, management were clearly trying to save as much money as possible this week. Many lifts that could have been running weren't due to a lack of staff and most food and drink outlets were closed even though the resort was running. The early closure of Guthega and Blue Cow added to the overall disappointment.

If you manage to get here outside of school holidays, do it! This resort is alot of adult fun, when there are no massive school holiday lines. I have favourite parts of this resort, which I will keep to myself, as I want these parts to stay quieter and unknown. If you stumble upon them, you will know and yo will keep it to yourself too.

Perception of skiing/boarding and the resort you go to is so tied up with where else you have skied, what conditions were like etc. that it can be difficult to provide meaningful info. But I'm being objective and as always this is just based on our experience.Lets start with...Perisher is great if you are looking for somewhere for first time or are a fairly inexperienced skier/boarder. Provided that conditions are good, there will be plenty for the learner/improver to ski for a week. If you are more advanced then you will probably be done after 3 days max. Also, the runs tend to be pretty short which isn't too bad for learning but for the more experienced skier it does begin to feel as though you spend most of your day either on or waiting for a lift.The food choices on the mountain are pretty dismal, and even stuff like burgers is in the main badly done! The exception to this is the hut at the bottom of the Eyre T-bar. Those in the know make their way over there and the queue proves how popular it is.We were lucky enough to hit the slopes in the middle of one of the best seasons ever so plenty of fresh snow everywhere. It did mean that there were also lots of other people there too! Queues were pretty big from the main bottom stations but you could get away and over to some of the other slopes where it was much quieter. In saying that, if you are used to skiing in Europe on a good snow weekend, then the queues were nothing (15 min max).Our 5 year old got on well in ski-school and was zipping down the nursery slopes by end of day 3. Once you get going, there are then plenty of easily accessible green runs to improve on.We stayed on-snow on this trip and it was good to be able to walk over to the lifts in the morning/afternoon. The other side to this is you don't get the village atmosphere or access to shops/restaurants/bars etc. You can see this as a good or bad thing...your call.All in all, great for beginners/improvers, but also great if you want to get your fix of snow without going O/S.

Great spring skiing but would be disappointed getting there tomorrow to find Blue Cow closed! Hope the lift tickets are discounted!

September skiing... No school holidays and plenty of snow. Perfect spring conditions with minimal crowds.

Superb location for snowshoeing, cross country skiing.Small and personalised service.Immaculate rooms and good food!

I found Perisher to be a fun experience, but also expensive. Everything from the lift passes to lunch seems to be overpriced.Luckily, they have the terrain to make up for it. You won't get anywhere near the quality of Northern Hemisphere resorts, but Perisher makes do with what little snowfall it gets. There is a run for every skill level and although the lift lines are massive in peak periods, and the runs some what short, you will find yourself having a good time.
