70cm of Snow in 7 days at Perisher
New South Wales, Australia - In a word AWESOME! Mother Nature's gigantic snow stick walloped Perisher last night resulting in significant snowfalls. 25cm (9.8 inches) of light dry powder settled in the resort overnight, taking the total to 70cm (27.5 inches) in the last 7 days. Snowboarding is set to be a snow-rider's dream this weekend. There are wind-drifts, powder stashes and silky smooth groomed runs galore.
Due to recent snowfalls Perisher plans to open 40 lifts for the weekend. Some of the resort's favourite areas due to open this weekend include: all of Guthega; Excelerator and the Ridge Quad Chair in Blue Cow; Eyre and Sun Valley T-Bars on Mt Perisher. Access to and from Blue Cow will be via the Interceptor Quad Chair and Pleasant Valley Quad Chair.
