PERISHER TO OPEN THIS WEEKEND – ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN PLANNED
"We’re excited to announce that with the current storm bringing over 30cms of snow to Perisher and the hard work our snowmakers – Perisher will open one week early for the 2022 snow season on Saturday 4 June. With over 50cms of snow still to come over the next week we’re looking forward to welcoming guests back to Perisher and kicking off the season.
