Here's some suggestions for Winter activities. Some are obvious, others might take you by surprise!

Perisher Resort has 50 lifts and a skiable area of almost 12.5 sq kms, with a longest run of 3 km. Of the groomed runs, 22% are rated for Beginners, 60% Intermediate and 18% advanced, so there is something for every standard of skier. Smiggins has 4 T-Bars, 2 J-Bars, Triple Chair, Rope Tow and 2 Magic Carpets. Access from Smiggins to the rest of Perisher Resort is via the Link T-Bar.

Snow Tubes

Perisher Resort has created a funtastic Snow Tube Park, known as Tube Town, at Mount Piper adjacent to the main Perisher car park. Snow Tubing is a lost cost, family-friendly way to enjoy the snow, for first-timers and experienced snow lovers alike.

All the details are available at Tube Town

Cross Country Skiing

Perisher Resort has an extensive range of trails for Cross Country (or Nordic) skiing.

Snow Shoeing

Snow shoeing has seen a resurgence in popularity in the last few years and further growth is anticipated in the coming years. Snow shoes have come a long way since the "converted tennis racquet" look of years gone by. Technology has made significant inroads - materials such as aluminium, polyurethane and the like are now the norm. Experts claim that no particular skills are required - if you can walk, you can snowshoe.
