Good morning and welcome to the weekend!
We've had 5cm of fresh snow overnight, and more snow showers are expected to fall at higher elevations throughout the day. Today, we're looking at a top of -1°C with mostly cloudy skies and moderate WNW winds.
The grooming team was out in force last night, and they've laid fresh corduroy on 98 runs across the resort. With that fresh snow on top, expect the groomed runs this morning to be absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
Subaru WRX First Tracks is back this morning! Epic Australia Pass holders can get an early start and access V8 and Leichhardt from 7:30am, before the mountain officially opens.
WHAT TO WEAR:
With temperatures staying below freezing today, we recommend thermal base layers, a mid-layer, and waterproof outerwear to stay warm and dry as snow showers continue. Missing a layer? Our expert team at Perisher Sports or Slopestyle can help you out with everything you need.
