The Perisher XC Centre Trails and Conditions Report
Wed, Jul 9th, 2025 6:00 am
A spectacular sunrise yesterday gave way to a very windy day but that did not prevent lots of skiers from enjoying the amazing work of recovering the trails, once again.
The snow started late afternoon and continued.....thanks to the snow dancers. However the wind is roaring and the snow is drifting but that didn't stop the groomers from 3.00am this morning. In fact two groomers have worked the valley trail, 2.5, 3.5 and 5km. it won't be perfect and in some places it could still have big drifts but at least we have snow and it has been groomed, so it can only get better after this storm goes through.
Come up for a ski if you are well rugged up and enjoy very windy conditions.
