I am now 79 and going to ski Perisher for 2 weeks. I started ⛷️ skiing in Perisher in around 1970 and remember a day ticket $6.00. The ticket person would use a different colour permanent marker to write a date on the ticket. You had to attach it permanently to your outer garment. Those were the days never to be forgotten. Perisher is a great ski resort, especially after Blue Cow and Guthega were combined. I have been skiing ⛷️ Perisher for 55 years and have no complains. Sure we had good and not so good seasons with the snow. I lived in Canberra, so it was a 2.5 hour drive to get to to Perisher. Only thing was they were a bit slow putting in new lifts. I would give Perisher 9 out of 10. (note from the editor: names of individuals are not included in resort reviews.)
