The Perisher XC Centre Trails and Conditions Report
Tue, Jul 8th, 2025 6:00 am
Yesterday's blue sky and no wind made for a very relaxed day of skiing on a transitioning cover from firm to perfect and then forgiving (a bit slow)
Trails have been lightly groomed, but there are a few points where caution is required. There is not enough snow to rebuild everywhere so some areas of the trail will be skiable but very narrow. Trails groomed were : Sprint, valley, 2.5, 3.5, 5 and 7.5km.
The classic tracks that were set on Saturday have been left in place as much as possible by the groomer.
Snow dancing is now compulsory !!
There have been requests for reporting on the condition of the road to Charlotte Pass. Much of the feedback has been very positive and this information can be reported with the understanding that the grooming is not the responsibility of National Parks and conditions change quickly, depending on the amount of oversnow traffic. The best time to enjoy the road is very early in the mornings. Skiers are welcome to post their responses on the Perisher XC community face book.
