Perisher is a super fun resort. Is the highest Australian resort and so gemerally has the best snow quality. It is also the largest resort in the SH and comprises of 4 mountain areas. This gives it a very large amount of variety and types of terrain. There is tree skiing amongst snow gums as well as open bowls. The continous vertical drop isn't... More

Great ski lift options although the snow quality is always going to struggle compared with Japan/North America. Very good place to learn to ski (go to the Blue Cow resort rather then the Perisher ski area) and very family friendly. Accommodation options to stay at Perisher are very expensive so a more affordable option is to stay at Jindabyne and... More

Perisher is an awesome getaway resort in NSW, Australia. Although Australia isn't known for it's snow, the quality of the Perisher snow is probably the best in that region. There's plenty to do all around, and the size of the resort is incredible. Amenities are great, although slightly pricey. The skiing is fantastic, always good coverage, always... More

The largest resort in the southern hemisphere. Suffers from excessive crowds and queuing during peak times. However, if you can pick your time away from weekends and school holidays, it can make a huge difference. Operated by Vail, it is hoped that facilities can be modernised in the future. Needs a village, but it seems that this has been on the... More
