A Little Bit of History

On 17th July 1973 Perisher made it into the Daily Telegraph and got praised for our snowmaking. In his article called “Perisher’s 10 Guns do a Great Snow Job”, Frank Gallego writes about the season being the second of poor weather conditions:

“They look like World War One machine guns and they help to create an alpine reality when nature fails to oblige. Ten of these guns, imported into Australia three years ago, work throughout each night pumping a fine spray of water at very high pressure high into the air to fall as snow on the slopes”. “The snow guns have undoubtedly proved their worth at Perisher already. Right now the valley has six T-bars and the chairlift still operating making it the only fully functional snow resort in Australia”.

44 years later, the equipment and conditions have changed a lot but snowmaking still does a fantastic job keeping our slopes looking great!
