Perisher, along with Falls Creek and Hotham, is set to welcome visitors to the 2025 snow season this Saturday, June 7, thanks to a significant early-season snowstorm and extensive snowmaking efforts. With up to 80cm of fresh snow anticipated, all three alpine resorts, operated by Vail Resorts Australia, will open for an event-filled long weekend.

Nathan Butterworth, Vice President and General Manager of Perisher Ski Resort, expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming season. “We’re thrilled to welcome guests back to Perisher after Mother Nature brought some snow and colder temperatures in the past week. We look forward to watching guests discover, or re-discover, their moment at Australia’s largest ski resort,” he stated. Butterworth highlighted the preparations made by the team, including the opening of the new Mt Perisher 6 chairlift, which promises to enhance the guest experience.

The festive atmosphere at Perisher will include skiing and boarding activities, with options for kids and beginners. A mini park will be installed on Front Valley, and the PEAK music festival will provide entertainment, accompanied by cultural events such as the Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony.
This weekend not only marks the beginning of the ski season but also the final opportunity to purchase the 2025 Epic Australia Pass, offering access to these resorts and international ones, including Whistler Blackcomb. With special discounts and numerous events, all three resorts are poised for an unforgettable start to the season on Saturday June 7, at Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham.
