Mt Perisher 6: Project Updates

Australia’s newest high-speed 6-person chairlift is now spinning, giving skiers and boarders faster access to some of the country’s best advanced and intermediate terrain.

Now the highest lifted point in Australia at 2,042m, the Mt Perisher 6 gets you to the top 44% faster so you can spend more time on snow and less in transit.

 The upgraded lift will improve resort capacity and assist to redistribute skiers across Perisher’s network of 45 lifts across four resort base areas to reduce general lift wait times and improve flow and circulation.

Key points of the new chairlift include wider rope gauge, better wind performance, and a 44% faster ride time (5½ mins down from 10 mins).

The new chairlift will have a faster load and unload at each end facilitating greater circulation and flow of guests around the mountain.

Mt. Perisher 6: By the Numbers

• 1 new, high-speed detachable 6 seater chairlift
• 44% faster ride time (5 ½ minutes to the summit down from 10 minutes)
• 60% increase in chairlift capacity on Mt Perisher 

The multi-year multi-million-dollar project represents a significant investment in the guest experience at Perisher and highlights the continued commitment of Vail Resorts to its Australian operations as part of the Epic Lift Upgrade capital improvement project.
