Snow Reporter Comments: Updated: 12 Sep 7:31am Today at Perisher A Beautiful Bluebird Friday! Good morning and happy bluebird Friday! It doesn’t get much better than this...after 15cm of fresh snow earlier this week, Perisher is serving up a spring masterpiece today. Blue skies stretching in every direction, crisp morning corduroy, and soft, playful snow as the sun works its magic over the course of the day. All four resort areas are open and interconnected, with up to 40 lifts expected to spin you straight into 80 freshly groomed trails. It’s looking like we’ll reach a top of 6°C with winds remaining low, which means long, cruisy laps and plenty of time to soak up the sunshine between runs. If you’re not here, this is your nudge. These are the days people talk about long after the snow melts. Spontaneous road trips, long lunches in the sun, and runs that feel too good to call the last. Spring riding is in full swing, and right now, Perisher is the place to be.
