Snow Reporter Comments: 15 Aug 7:28am Today at Perisher Happy Friday! Good morning and happy Friday from Perisher! We woke up to a beautiful sunrise this morning, and with the cloud begining to roll in now we're looking forward to up to 35cm of fresh snow over the next few days. The forecast is calling for a top of 4°C with snow expected later this afternoon and light north westerly winds. Our grooming team was hard at work overnight, serving up 85 freshly groomed runs across the resort. Expect smooth corduroy for your first turns, with conditions set to stay firm until the snow rolls in.
