Snow Reporter Comments: 17 Sep 8:13am Today at Perisher Happy Wednesday! Strong winds are expected today which is likely to impact lift operations. Monitor the Perisher Lift Report and opt-in to Snow & Weather and Lift & Operations notifications in the Perisher App for real-time updates. Good morning amd happy Wednesday! A small but welcome dusting of snow overnight has given the hill a fresh start to the day. Cloud cover is hanging around with some sun trying to make an appearance this morning Strong north-westerly winds are sweeping the hill, expected to ease a touch later but are set to stick around. With temps ranging from -1°C to 3°C, it’s a good day for layering up and keeping cosy between laps. The grooming team have done an incredible job making the most of the conditions, with 52 freshly groomed trails waiting to be explored. You'll want to find yourself a T-bar buddy today...always a solid choice when the wind is up!
