Snow Reporter Comments: Today at Perisher 27 Aug 2026 – Snowguns firing overnight We’re in for a stunning day on the mountain. The sky is clear, the temperature is currently -3°C and the snow guns have been firing since 11pm last night. Winds are light and forecast to be southwesterly 15-20km/h turning west to northwesterly 15-25 km/h in the morning. 152 guns were firing overnight and are still running this morning. We have 21 lifts scheduled to spin across Perisher Valley, Blue Cow and Smiggins. The groomers have been out there working their magic as well, and we have 27 groomed runs across the resort. The snow will be fun and fast this morning with a layer of man-made freshening up the piste in the snowmaking areas, and it'll soften as the day wears on. A reminder, there is no longer ski access between Perisher and Blue Cow, so you'll need to take the Skitube between the two resort areas and access to Smiggins is via the Guest Shuttle. There's live music at Jax this afternoon from 12pm, plus retail sales happening. So get on up here, enjoy the turns in the sun and have a great day.
