What visitors say about the resort

Perisher is praised as the largest resort in the Southern Hemisphere, with four linked areas, more than forty lifts and a train from Jindabyne directly to the slopes. Visitors highlight the well-groomed pistes and strong ski school for children.

It is criticised for the weather: Australian snow is wet and unpredictable, and rain in July is not unusual. The second major drawback is the lift pass prices, among the highest in the world. Visitors also complain about crowds during school holidays.
