Perisher sees 70cm of new snow

It’s not often Australia has dumps of more than 70cm (that’s more than 2 feet) in the space of a week, but this week Mother Nature has been kind to Perisher ski resort in New South Wales.

The resort has seen an abundance of white fluffy stuff in the past week and the weather seems to indicate it will keep coming. Due to recent snowfalls Perisher opened 40 lifts for the weekend. Some of the resort’s favourite areas due to open this weekend include: all of Guthega; Excelerator and the Ridge Quad Chair in Blue Cow; Eyre and Sun Valley T-Bars on Mt Perisher. Access to and from Blue Cow will be via the Interceptor Quad Chair and Pleasant Valley Quad Chair.

Plus, weather forecasters are calling scattered snowfalls above 1300m over the next few days.
