My first season there starts in around 5 weeks time, and I have never skid there before.

So here are my Qs:

1- How many parks are there?

2- What are the parks like in your opinion?

3- How is their superpipe? (well maintained?)

4- Do they look after the features well?

Mucho Steeze for the info!
 
1) Perisher has one advanced park, two intermediate parks and one beginner park. Although Perisher's Blue Cow park is probably the last to be built so if there isn't snow it won't be built. It also has a 22ft half pipe and a 6ft mini pipe.

2)The parks are fun. Both Charles Beckinsale and Charles Reid are the main shapers for the perisher advanced park and do a great job with the set up and booters are on point. The other two intermediate parks are pretty fun with jumps ranging from 15-30 ft and numerous different rail set ups.

3) the pipe is very well maintained. It's more because no one really goes into it so it doesn't get cup up to much, but it gets cut every day i'm pretty sure.

4) Yes, the Perisher park crew looks after their features extremely well. You're almost guaranteed that one of the features in one of the parks is being salted and groomed. Although some of the landings on the easier features get rutted out easily due to gapers.
 
Just going to share my local knowledge here. On a pow day the best places to go to get away from the crowds is Eyre T-bar. You can easily Traverse across most of the mountain then ski down untracked pow. The map says you can only traverse to a certain point then ski down a run called shiftys, but that is false. You can traverse as far as you want and then ski down and you will get to road then just skate back along that road back to Eyre Tbar, sure it's a long skate and but so worth it. The drop off at Smiggin holes is a super fun pow day run that no one really goes on as it's next to the traverse Tbar and everyone just wants to get out of smiggins on a pow day. Over at Blue Cow between outer limits and excelerator is pretty fun and drops you into tree runs.
 
The the parks often draw professional skiers and snowboards from America during our season just last week I saw tom wallisch at the intermediate park hiking some rails
