The Perisher XC Centre Trails and Conditions Report
Sun, Jul 20th, 2025 5:56 am

Despite a fresh breeze yesterday was still offered great snow and sunshine for those watching competitors sprint around the 1.2km.  Chapeau to all competitors and winners in the various categories.  With the cold temperatures the trails stayed  stayed in good condition all day and today is forecast to be a replay with less wind forecast..  

Overnight all trails up to and including 10km groomed.  Currently clear and still waiting for the sun to break through so make sure you have adequate sun protection.  We will be out to trackset on the skidoo early in the morning so please be aware if you are going for an early lap.  

The State Distance Championships are also happening this morning so racers will be on and around the 2.5 and 5km Trails.  We still want you to enjoy the trails but heading out on Valley Trail will be a preferred way to go until around 11am.  Please take care as you cross the track as the racers come down the course at some speed.  There will be designated crossing points and volunteers helping with traffic control.  Please try not to walk on the course if possible.
