New South Wales’ most popular ski resort is, without a doubt, Perisher (also still referred to by its old name, Perisher Blue). High atop the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, along the Snowy River Shire and within Kosciuskio National Park, Perisher is a fantastic example of the outstanding ski resorts found throughout Australia.
Located about 600 kilometers southwest of Sydney, Perisher Blue is the largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere, and consists of four, separate villages within the resort itself: Perisher Valley, Smiggin Holes, Guthega and Blue Cow.

• Perisher Valley – With an elevation of 1,720 m, Perisher Valley boasts excellent slopes, beautiful resort accommodation and a great variety of amenities and services to make your stay both comfortable and luxurious.
• Smiggin Holes – Located 1,680 m high atop the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Smiggin Holes is a popular destination for both beginner and advanced skiers and snowboarders. This village offers great ski resort accommodation. Smiggin Holes is most commonly reached by flights from Cooma.
• Guthega – With an elevation of 1,640 m, Guthega boasts an excellent array of ski facilities and quaint accommodation. Many of the runs of Guthega are tree-lined, which therefore holds snow much longer than other resorts. There are great lodges and hotels found in Guthega, thereby offering guests quality ski resort accommodation.
• Blue Cow – With the highest elevation at 1,890 m, Blue Cow is Perisher’s only day-only resort. Located within close proximity to the Perisher Blue Resort, most visitors reach Blue Cow by either ski lifts or skitube.
