Frequently Asked Question
Which ski resort do we visit?
Perisher Ski Resort – the largest alpine resort in the Southern Hemisphere. With 47 lifts and 7 mountain peaks, it covers the largest area of any Australian resort. Skiers and boarders can ski and board between four separate but interconnected resort areas and one of the best things about the resort is its varied terrain that is suitable for all ages and ability levels from first-timers right up to experts.An accordion content area
Where do we stay?
Our accommodation is at the ever popular Ski Rider Hotel, located on exclusive acres inside Kosciuszko National Park, only 11kms from Perisher snow fields – just a short coach ride away! All rooms have ensuite bathrooms, central heating, tea/coffee making facilities and ski/boarding drying racks. Accommodation is based on multi-share of 4, 5 or 6 persons per room. Twin and triple share rooms are available at an additional cost pending availability. You’ll find the staff at Ski Rider warm and welcoming and their meals are delicious and satisfying.
When is the best time to visit the snow?
The official opening of the winter snow season is the June long weekend and the official close is the October long weekend, although depending on snow, Perisher can open earlier or extend the season.
Will there be snow when I go?
If only we had a crystal ball! There’s no way we can say whether or not it’s going to snow. That’s up to mother nature! It’s hard to tell when it’s going to snow, for how long and where. Add plenty of other weather factors that can affect the snow once it’s fallen into the mix and great snow conditions aren’t always a guarantee. You can rely on great snowmaking facilities at Perisher to ensure that there is always fresh snow on the ground. Perisher has invested heavily in snowmaking to ensure guests are provided with the best possible conditions all winter.
What age is a child?
A child is up to age 14. Once they’re 15 they’re classed as an adult.
Do I need a lesson?
If it’s your first time to the snow, we would definitely recommend lessons. This will ensure that your first skiing or boarding experience is safe and enjoyable. Lessons are organised when you purchase your lift ticket. Children’s lessons are 3 hours in duration, adults are 2 hours and start at 9am at Smiggin Holes which is where the coach parks.
We don’t want to ski or snowboard. What else is there to do?
Tobogganing is great fun for kids and parents alike and Perisher have dedicated areas for just this. It’s very affordable and you can hire them at Ski Rider or when you get to the snowfields.
You can also ride on the skitube from Perisher to Blue Cow – a train that travels through the mountain.
There is also a scenic chairlift ride (not available on weekends, so you’ll only be able to do this if you’re on our 3 day or 5 day tour). The Perisher Quad Express is a great way to experience the incredible vistas across the Snowy Mountains from a lofty height of 2000 metres above sea level. Take the opportunity to get off at mid-station and warm up with refreshments before riding all the way to the top. Don’t forget the camera (and a scarf!).Perisher’s Tube Town is an exciting, low cost snow experience located right next to the Perisher Valley car park.
You don’t even need to climb back up the hill, just put your feet up and be towed, then sit on a tube and fly down the hill. Definitely fun for all ages!
Do I need travel insurance?
We recommend travel insurance for all ski holidays. Check with your private health fund, car insurer or home & contents insurer as well as specific travel insurance providers. Just be sure to enquire whether snow sports are covered on the policy.
Do I need a lift ticket to ski/snowboard?
Yes, you will need a valid lift ticket for each day you plan to ski or board.
How do I purchase a lift ticket?
If you want to save money, pre-book your lift tickets online directly with Perisher at www.perisher.com.au. Book them at least 7 days prior to arrival to receive the maximum discount.
If you already have a Perisher Card, you can re-charge it online. There is a one-off $5 charge if you don’t already hold a reloadable Perisher Card.
If you’re purchasing lessons, make sure you select Smiggin Holes for your lesson location as this is where the coach parks and you’ll easily make a 9am lesson.
What about equipment (ski/board/clothing) hire?
Ski Rider offer quality ski, snowboard and clothing hire. We can organise this for you and by pre-paying, you will save time and money.
