The Perisher XC Centre Trails and Conditions Report
Wed, Jul 2nd, 2025 7:00 pm
When the snow is a bit soggy and the air is a bit foggy what is there to do? Go skiing of course ! Despite the outlook, the squads went through their paces and were happy to do so. The snow, although very damp, was still pleasantly skiable as it had been packed well from the night groom. There were quite a few folk enjoying their skiing.
The decision to NOT groom overnight for Thursday morning was not hard to make. It is better to preserve the snow until the temperature drops and then the groomer can work his magic. Skiing will still be possible and with some luck, the expected snow may still arrive.
This then is an early post of the grooming report and a sleep in for the groomer and the Nordic Shelter reporter.
Don't forget the 63rd Junior Paddy Pallin event on Saturday 5th July. It is a low key fun event for kids on skis. It is free to enter. Entries on the day from 9:00am to 10:30am.
Also happening this coming weekend is the come and try day. A great time for all newcomers to XC skiing. Register online.
