To celebrate the countdown to the snow season, Perisher shared winter wonderland fun to Sydney with a special bus-stop takeover in honour of its high-speed, six-seater Mt Perisher 6 chairlift, new for 2025 and offering guests More Choice, More Laps and More Fun!
The bus-stop revamp will be in Newtown until Sunday 18 May, and with natural snowfall in the forecast for Perisher this weekend: the countdown to the snow season is on!
Commuters have been snapping selfies at the Perisher bus stop for their chance to win a snow trip to Perisher in 2025, including 5 nights’ accommodation for four at the iconic Perisher Valley Hotel, lift tickets, group lessons, rental gear and Skitube tickets! Nine runners-up will receive 5-day lift tickets plus Skitube passes. And there's only a few days left to enjoy the bus stop and share a selfie to win.

About the Mt Perisher 6
The highly anticipated Mt Perisher 6 chairlift is one of the largest investments in the resort’s history and is a major milestone in the resort’s ongoing commitment to the guest experience. Replacing the Mt Perisher Double and Triple chairs, with $312,000 raised for local community groups and initiatives during the Double Chair auction, the Mt Perisher 6 will significantly boost capacity, efficiency, and comfort, cutting travel time up the mountain from 10 minutes to just 5.5 minutes.
Engineered to meet the high demand of Mt. Perisher’s sought-after slopes, the new detachable chairlift travels faster than a conventional fixed-grip chairlift, getting you to the top of the mountain quicker, with the added advantage of easier loading and unloading, enhancing flow and reducing wait times, meaning less wait and more laps. It’s also designed to help redistribute skiers and snowboarders across Perisher’s 44 lifts and four resort areas, improving the overall circulation of guests and easing congestion across the network.
By reducing the number of lift towers from 27 to just 10, guests will also enjoy a more expansive skiable area, wider runs, and breathtaking panoramic views. The new lift unload station offers an unbeatable vantage point across the resort, including Guthega’s Freedom Quad, Blue Cow’s Ridge Quad, Smiggin Holes, and even down the Valley to Jindabyne on a clear day.
