Perisher Ski Resort debuts a $26M chairlift, aiming to boost the Australian ski industry year-round.

Perisher Ski Resort in Australia's Snowy Mountains is set to debut a new $26 million six-seater chairlift, replacing two older lifts and reducing wait times by nearly half. This investment comes despite two recent below-average snow seasons, signaling confidence in the future of Australia's ski industry. While there are no plans to use the lift for summer mountain biking, the resort and government aim to transform the region into a year-round destination, similar to Big Sky in Montana.
