Snow, Snowmaking and 16 days to go!
There are just 16 days to go and it certainly feels that way up here at Perisher Blue. The resort received a natural snowfall over the weekend and continuing low temperatures have allowed the new snowmaking system to pump out more snow across Front Valley. With a stream of staff returning along with fresh faces popping up for the season ahead, there’s definitely a buzz in the mountain air at Perisher Blue.

Skitube Alpine Railway Celebrates It’s 20th Birthday
Perisher Blue’s Skitube celebrates its 20th birthday this year. Remarkably, the cog/rack system railway was deemed the most efficient and environmentally acceptable method for travelling to the resort as long as twenty years ago when it was built. This is due to both its energy saving operating system as well as the carbon emission reduction generated as a result of using Skitube as an alternative to car travel to the resort.
