Did the 3-day snow tour to Perisher and had such a great experience! The tour included 2 nights’ accommodation, 3 cooked breakfasts, 2 dinners, admission into Kosciuszko National Park for all 3 days, and daily transfers from the hotel to Perisher. The whole trip was so well organised. Our driver, Rhys, drove us safely on Friday and Sunday, and Greg, our guide, was incredibly informative and helpful throughout the trip — from recommending where to ski and helping with ski pass collection and equipment, to showing us the breakfast area and making sure check-in times ran smoothly. Both Rhys and Greg were extremely polite and professional and left such a strong impression that I’ll definitely be booking again next year. The accommodation at Ski Rider was decent and comfortable, own bathroom, small area in your room to hang ski gear. If you’re hiring ski or snowboard equipment, I’d definitely recommend booking through Ski Rider — it saves so much time, especially when the queues at Perisher can take 40+ minutes! The hotel also has its own ski bus running back and forth to Perisher, and the buffet-style meals were pretty decent and tasty. Bring your own snacks as the prices are very expensive. Overall, I had such a great time! The 3-day trip was definitely worth it, especially if you only want to ski for the weekend. Huge thanks to Rhys and Greg for making the trip so enjoyable and, most importantly, for getting us home safely. I’ll definitely be back next year! ⛷️🏔️
