About Blue Cow Ski Hire
Blue Cow Ski Hire is located at the Blue Cow Terminal, one of Perisher's four interconnected resort areas and the arrival point for skiers using the Skitube alpine railway from Bullocks Flat. Blue Cow is widely regarded as Perisher's best terrain for intermediate and advanced skiers, with access to steep chutes, natural gullies, and the popular Excelerator quad chair. The on-site rental shop serves skiers who arrive via the Skitube and those staying in the Blue Cow area, providing a convenient option without needing to travel to the main Perisher Valley centre.
The rental range includes standard and performance ski and snowboard packages, with a focus on intermediate-to-advanced equipment that matches the terrain available from the Blue Cow base. Helmets, goggles, and poles are available as add-ons. The shop also handles equipment adjustments and minor repairs, which is useful for skiers who need binding tweaks or edge sharpening partway through a multi-day trip. Pre-booking through the Perisher website is recommended, particularly during school holiday periods when the Skitube runs at capacity.
The key advantage of renting at Blue Cow is avoiding the crowds at the main Perisher Valley rental centre. Blue Cow tends to attract more experienced skiers and has a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than the bustling Perisher Valley base area. For skiers arriving via the Skitube who want to be on the chairlift within minutes of arrival, Blue Cow Ski Hire eliminates the need to shuttle between resort villages with heavy gear.
