Snow Reporter Comments: Updated: 14 Jul 7:31am Today at Perisher 12cm Overnight! “SHRED THE GNAR!” The cold front that hit last night brought with it blizzard conditions, and we’ve woken up to 12cm of fresh snow! With powder waiting to be chased off-piste and mostly sunny skies this morning, it’s shaping up to be a great day to “SHRED THE GNAR!” (As the kids say, I think). The winds have eased down to moderate after last night's blizzard, but as always, alpine conditions can change rapidly. Be sure to keep an eye on the Perisher Lift Report and opt-in to ‘Snow & Weather’ and ‘Lift & Operations’ notifications in the Perisher app for the latest updates. Temps dropped to -3°C overnight, so the snowmakers were out in full force, firing up 169 snow guns across the resort. Today will start mostly sunny, with a medium chance of more snow showers developing into the afternoon, with a top of 1°C. 42 lifts are expected to spin today, and 72 runs have been freshly groomed, so there’s plenty of terrain to explore.
