Australia’s Largest Resort Reports All Lifts Running For First Time In 2 Years

J2SkiNews posted 03-Aug

Perisher ski resort, Australia's largest and the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere outside South America, has reported all 46 of its lifts are running as of today.

"With Olympic spirit in the air, we're thrilled to announce 100% of lifts running with the opening of Olympic T-Bar today – the first time since 2022," a resort spokesperson said on Saturday, August 3rd.

Consistent snowfall, including more than a metre in the final weeks of July for some, solid snowmaking conditions and cold temperatures have helped most of Australia's larger ski areas open all or most of their runs after a tough first six weeks of the season when dry conditions meant most had only 5-35% of their terrain open.

Selwyn Resort announced a week ago that it was 100% open for the first time since 2019, having been destroyed by bush fires in early 2020 and missing several season through Covid and rebuilding.

"Seeing the passion of the Olympians flying the flag overseas has spurred us on to get out and enjoy what we love doing – skiing and snowboarding at Australia's largest ski resort - Perisher," said Maddi Ventura, Perisher Marketing Manager. "This weekend will be one of the best of the season with all lifts open. Now's the time to come and enjoy it."
