Updated 6 June 2026
Welcome to Opening Weekend at Perisher. It’s great to see guests return to the resort, enjoying the snow, sunshine, Front Valley Conveyer laps and Peak Festival!
We were able to run the snow making guns for around 8 hours last night and are expecting another decent run tonight. Due to this, and the mountain operations team working their magic, we are stoked to let you know that the Village 8 is set to spin tomorrow! That’s right, first laps on the V8 are here!
Paired with a $99 adult lift ticket + $1 beginner lesson add-on (and just $54 + $1 for kids), there’s no reason not to come up for your first laps of the season! To score this amazing deal, simply add a lift-ticket for the weekend to your cart and you’ll have the option to add a $1 beginner lesson before you check out.
While you’re here, make the most of all the action that is PEAK Music Festival, a key part of the long weekend tradition, bringing free live music to the resort. This year, more than 20 artists will perform across venues throughout Perisher Valley, with Australian Idol winner Kesha Neve leading the line-up. Add family-friendly entertainment and village activations, and there's plenty happening around the resort.
