Mother Nature Adds 64cm of Snow to Perisher in the Last 48hrs

New Snowfalls Coupled with Record 800,000 Cubic Metres of Snowmaking Deliver Great Conditions

Perisher Valley, NSW - Mother Nature joined the party by adding 64 centimetres of fresh snow at Perisher, Australia's largest Alpine resort, Sunday though Monday. Prior to the new snowfall, Perisher had achieved a new Australian record in snowmaking, producing over 800,000 cubic metres of snow with depths of up to 3 meters in some areas.

With further falls of up to 20 centimetres forecast later this week by the Bureau of Meteorology and the resort's greater natural snow reliability, Perisher can now provide skiers and snowboarders access to almost 1245 hectares of snow covered terrain.

"The four resort areas of Perisher, Blue Cow, Guthega and Smiggin Holes will be interconnected this weekend" said Gary Grant, General Manager "With all this terrain available on just one ticket, Perisher represents exceptional value to our guests" Grant went on to say.

Perisher is planning additional investment in snowmaking to increase coverage to 110 hectares. The resort plans to have all trails linking its four ski areas covered throughout the winter season.
