read moreThe new high-speed 6-person chairlift for Perisher Ski Resort – the Mt Perisher 6 - is a significant investment in the guest experience at Perisher and highlights the continued commitment of Vail Resorts to its Australian operations as part of the Epic Lift Upgrade capital improvement project.
The Perisher team have announced that the Mt Perisher 6 is expected to open for its first day of operations this Friday 27th June when it will take its very first guests for a spin – a moment years in the making.
If you’ve been following along the journey to the Mt Perisher 6, you’ll know this is more than just another chairlift. The Mt P 6 project represents a major investment in the future of snowsports in Australia and a clear reflection of Vail Resorts’ ongoing commitment to improving the experience on Mt Perisher. Years in the making, the Mt P 6 was brought to life through the unwavering dedication and hard work of the Perisher team and lift partner, Doppelmayr.
The Mt Perisher 6 Chairlift (affectionately dubbed 'Mt P 6') has been meticulously planned for over more than a decade. From initial blueprints to the final bolt, this $26 million project was fuelled by a shared passion for improving access on Mt Perisher and delivering a smoother, faster and more fun day on snow.
Construction began in late 2023, and thanks to a favourable run of weather and incredible teamwork from both Perisher’s construction crew and Doppelmayr engineers, the project wrapped up right on schedule.
And now, with winter in full swing, the Perisher team are ready to turn the bullwheel and welcome guests aboard Australia’s newest, and highest lifted point.
What to Expect from The Mt Perisher 6
All of this means more laps, less waiting, and more time enjoying everything Mt Perisher has to offer.
This project is a true reflection of the dedication and grit of the entire Perisher team, from long days on the tools in snow and sun, to the winter operations crew who’ve worked tirelessly in recent weeks to prepare Mt Perisher for skiing and snowboarding.
