“Perisher Blue Pty Limited (’PB’), the operator of the Perisher Blue Ski Resort, the Perisher Valley Hotel, the Skitube and The Station Resort is committed to achieving compatibility between the protection and maintenance of the natural and cultural environment, exercising social responsibility and providing high quality alpine recreation and tourism experiences.”
The Perisher Blue is working on a number of environmental initiatives including:
“Renewable energy and the Village 8 Express. Perisher Blue has converted the power source for Village Eight Express Chairlift, night skiing lights and six snowmaking fan guns on Front Valley to 100% renewable energy for 2007. Perisher Blue worked with Origin Energy to effect the change over and the switch to renewable energy is an important part of Perisher Blue’s commitment to minimising resource use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving its environmental management performance. The change to renewable energy is also in line with the ‘Keep Winter Cool’ initiative, launched by the Alpine Resorts Co-ordinating Council (ARCC), the Australian Alps Liaison Committee (AALC) and the Australian Ski Areas Association (ASAA) to improve the public’s awareness and understanding of the issues regarding global warming and to identify opportunities to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
