  I visited Perisher June/July 07 for a few days;I found the resort to be very nice and the people very friendly. The weather was amazing (for snow lovers) it snowed heavily pretty much for 2 days so many of the runs where closed. They don’t take any risks so in weather where most lifts would be open in European ski resorts, here they close them.
  Having traveled half way across the world to visit Australia I had not expected to go skiing but I am very glad I did but I did not have my own equipment, however, the rental equipment in this report is the best by far I have ever come across and very well organised.
  If you find yourself in Australia during June – September find the time to go there. There is something quite surreal about skiing in what should be summer. For me one of the highlights was relaxing after a hard day skiing, with a drink watching Wimbledon tennis on the TV while a blizzard was raging outside.

  An amazing place to ski for what it is. A real winter play-ground full of rolls, bumps, rocks, trees small and BIG wind blown cornices; and a considerably large area to discover. Infrastructure is big and the village itself is set to improve. To ski in Australia is a truly unique experience and if you receive the right conditions, a real special memory. Downside is anytime may be not enough, wet or icy snow with freezing winds. It usually snows at about a 90 degree angle here (hence creating some awesome drops and cornices) great atmosphere to be found in lodges and bars around the resort or if you stay at the lead in town to the mountains, Jindabyne down below at 1000m. Excellent under-the-mountain train system will get you to the resort rain, hail or snow and is a significant feature of the resort. If you are prepared to hikew a little outsiode the resort there is even better untouched virgen wilderness to be experienced. Don´t die without knowing that we love to ski in Australia as well.
