The largest resort in the southern hemisphere. Suffers from excessive crowds and queuing during peak times. However, if you can pick your time away from weekends and school holidays, it can make a huge difference. Operated by Vail, it is hoped that facilities can be modernised in the future. Needs a village, but it seems that this has been on the... More

Perisher is a great ski resort with varied terrain and lots of it. Given its vastness, it's easy to avoid lineups once the morning rush has spread out. Plenty of options for lodging, though a little on the pricier side. Only fault is it's a bit of a distance from the nearest major city, Canberra.... More

Perisher is by far the best winter destination is Australia. It has the biggest skiable area and largest selection of terrain available in the country. Instructors are generally really good and run enjoyable lessons. Price is generally similar to other Australian resorts, but doesn't really compare to overseas destinations. The Epic Pass is... More

Perisher is a great resort if you are based in Australia and don't have the time to fly overseas. When the snow is coming, you can make a quick getaway after work on Friday and be there for first tracks on Saturday morning. The season pass is great value for money, especially if you buy it preseason in the early bird sale... More
