New Era For Mount Perisher - Snowy Mountains Magazine
Remember that old saying, I don’t like change. Well, you can be assured everyone will like the changes they see on Mount Perisher this year and more importantly in 2025 when the new Mt Perisher high speed detachable 6-seater chair is finished. For the first time since 1961, Perisher will be minus the Mount Perisher Double Chair for a winter season. During the summer, the old towers and top station were removed to make way for extensive and important initial works on the new chair’s foundations. After extensive rock removal and ground works, lift manufacturer Doppelmayr have laid foundations for the top station which will be visible this winter. Exciting times lay ahead for 2025, but if we are honest, guests may feel some minor pain this season with only the Triple Chair operating on the full eastern face of Mount Perisher. The International and Eyre T-bars, plus Sun Valley will share the load for access to the Mount Perisher runs, but realistically there may be congestion on busy days. Savvy skiers and snowboarders will judge their time to arrive and depart this area. And it’s not as if there isn’t plenty of other terrain to access across the resort. Carving turns down Towers run, minus the double chair’s towers will really open up the terrain. Next year when the triple has departed and there are less towers for the new chair, Towers will seem like a whole new run.
