Perisher Valley, 13 August 2025 – Skiers and boarders who have enjoyed 265cm+of snowfall so far this season can look forward to more powder days next year with 2026 Epic Australia Passes now on sale at the lowest price of the year. Epic Australia Pass ($AU1,045 adults; $AU599 children) continues to be Australia’s best value season pass with unlimited, unrestricted access to Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham, plus access to world-class mountains like Whistler Blackcomb (Canada), Hakuba Valley and Rusutsu Resort (Japan), Vail Mountain (Colorado), and recently added Verbier 4 Vallées (Switzerland) and Sölden (Austria).

“On top of the incredible snowfall this season, the launch of the Mt Perisher 6 chairlift cut ride time nearly in half and unlocked access to even more skiable terrain,” said Nathan Butterworth, Vice President and General Manager of Perisher Ski Resort. “It’s an exciting time to be part of the Australian ski scene — and for those who want to experience more powder here at home and abroad, now is the perfect time to start planning for next winter.”
