The Perisher XC Centre Trails and Conditions Report
Wed, Jul 2nd, 2025 6:00 am
No sun yesterday but plenty of skiers disappearing into the foggy white world and returning with very positive comments about, no wind, good snow and great tracks. AND THEN it started snowing and it just got heavier and heavier. But now it is very wet and foggy this morning and the wind is building. Not what we were hoping for.
The big concern for yesterday was the unexplained disappearance of a ski bag full of skis. The skis belong to a very dedicated athlete and like all of us here at the Cross Country centre he is devastated. In response, the snowcams will be utilised to assist with security and the police have been notified. Other security measures will be put in place very shortly. Skiers are advised to watch their belongings and consider using lockable cables as a deterrent.
Get ready for 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.
Another light groom today. Valley trail, 2.5, 3.5, 5 and 7.5km.
Note that some temporary fencing was installed in anticipation of catching more snow over the next few days. A big thank you to 4Site for their assistance.
