Great resort. easy to access via car or ski tube. A bit of hassle if you don't drive. Great variety of runs and parks to suit all levels. Can be a bit crowded during weekend. Not much restaurants on the mountain but they got food courts at the base. Not much snow but the quality is still decent. Sunny days most of the time. Great fun -... More

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

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
