New in 2010

At Perisher we cater to all groups. To better service our guests we have two clearly defined group demographics, School groups consisting of students from a School or College up to and including year 12 and we have Social groups, which is basically every group not meeting the criteria of a School group.

Every season Perisher is committed to developing new and improved products and facilities for our guests. The following serves to highlight some of our new initiatives and may not include the full terms and conditions.

• Snowsports School - School Group Lesson times - In an effort to maintain group lesson numbers the 2 hour School Group Lessons will be conducted at 8.30am and 10.30am at Smiggins and Blue Cow. Please consider the groups travel time and early morning arrangements when booking the 8.30am lesson. Social Group Lesson times - 2.5 hour Group Lessons are now conducted at 9.30am and 12.30am at Smiggins and 10.30am at Blue Cow.
• New "Perisher Skitube Saver" an all inclusive package from Bullocks Flat. Available for 1 to 3 Days the package includes Lift, Lesson at Blue Cow, Hire of Ski's/Poles/Boots or Snowboard/Boots and Skitube.
• This season Perisher has introduced 4 Day products, and made our School Group products easier by only offering a lift or Lift and Lesson package.
• New additional lesson option. School Groups can now have the choice of a total of 4 hrs tuition per day by including a heavily discounted 2hr additional lesson at 1pm.

Save Time

Organise everything before you get here! Prearrange lessons, Hire, Skitube and Mountain Lift passes. Save loads of mountain time with queue priority in lift lines during lesson times.

Only one person needs to queue to pay for a Lift Ticket and/ or hire. For increased service and efficiency we suggest paying in advance, generally a week before arrival, therefore all Lift Tickets can be pre-printed and waiting for your collection.

Save Money

Discounted lift and lesson passes for Group arriving in Early Season. Discounted hire rates. Free of charge Tickets and or hire to groups meeting certain criteria.
