Perisher Blue, NSW
The catch cry for Perisher Blue has to be "bigger is better". There is no doubt about it Perisher Blue is BIG, a whopping 1245 hectares of skiable terrain (reduced from 1250ha in 2002 by voluntary exclusion of habitat of the endangered Mountain Pygmy Possum at Blue Cow Mountain).
Perisher Blue provides a huge amount of variety over a vertical drop of about 420m. Perisher Blue is serviced by around 50 lifts which are both surface and chairs. Since Perisher Blue is spread over 7 peaks you can always find an uncrowded area.
There is on snow accommodation at Perisher Valley, Smiggin Holes, and some at Guthega. Not all the accommodation is ski in ski out so if that is what you want just be careful, you may be getting oversnow home each night!
Perisher Blue provides a wide range of activities with night skiing, cross country trails, and a dedicated snowboard park just to name a few.
Perisher Blue can be accessed either by car or by the ski tube at Bullocks Flat, which costs a bit more than a day pass but saves on park entry fees and usually chain hire as well.
