To celebrate what has been an exceptional season, Perisher Blue�s Spring Pass was launched last Saturday.

For just $546 for adults and $300 for children, including free travel on the Skitube Alpine Railway, guests can enjoy fabulous skiing and boarding from Saturday August 21st to October 10th 2004.

This equates to around $11.00 per day if taken straight away.

A season pass with Skitube is normally $1130 and $622 respectively, so the Spring Pass offers excellent value.

At the normal one day mountain pass rate (with Skitube), the Spring Pass means that it would only take around six days on the slopes to cover the purchase value, anything over that is a bonus.

From today there are 48 days left to enjoy what will go down as one of the best ever winters for snowfall on record.

The official snow depth in NSW now sits at almost two and a half metres (much deeper in places around the resort) and it is not uncommon for good snowfalls to continue well into September, improving conditions even further.

Spring is widely considered to be the best time to ski and board. The days are longer, lifts stay open later, the sun shines bright and the snow is silky smooth.

September is also regarded as the best time to learn. Perisher Blue has a team of 500 qualified instructors that will have adults and children alike mastering the terrain in no time.

It is time to give the snow a go, contact Perisher Blue to pick up the heavily discounted Spring Pass and the great accommodation deals available, like at the Station Resort where you can grab a room for just $99 that sleeps up to six!
