Snow Reporter Comments: 18 Jul 8:51am Today at Perisher Happy Friday! Good morning and happy Friday! It’s shaping up to be an absolutely beautiful day at Perisher. It's crisp, clear, and the vibes are high. The mercury dipped to -6°C overnight, creating prime snowmaking conditions, and our hardworking team fired up an impressive 163 snow guns across the resort. The result? Fresh, dry corduroy as far as the eye can see and some of the best conditions we’ve seen this season. With the sun shining, a top of 4°C expected, and just a light breeze in the air, it’s the kind of day that makes you fall in love with winter all over again.
