The Perisher XC Centre Trails and Conditions Report
Mon, Jul 27th, 2026 6:40 pm
A quieter day today. The 7km still has the most snow but some sections need to be walked. It softened well and was a delight. The 3.5km was also very good after some Ginzu work.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) will see a difference along the Valley trail after some rebuilding and temporary snow fences
installed. No other grooming except for the Ginzu going over the 3.5km trail. The 7km still offers the best skiing after it softens.
XC Ski week starting on Saturday 1st August. The PXC Cup will be the first event (depending on snow). What is guaranteed is the inaugural meet and greet at the Stables at 4:30pm. First drinks and platters courtesy of the PXC committee.
The organisers are committed to holding events both skiable and social. The emphasis will be on enjoying the activity and simply making the best of what snow is available. To encourage everyone to participate, race entries for the PXC, Boonoona, Sundeck Handicap, and Snowy Mountains Classic will be refunded in full if a race is cancelled. Late fees may also be waived but it is preferable that skiers enter early to assist with pre race organisation.
The Night Relays and Mystery coffee tours are entry on the day. See the website for details of all events.
