Perisher Ski Resort, Australia, has announced that the resort will host its first ever Slush Cup. The event will span across three days, from September 29 – October 1, 2023, and will be rounding out the season with three fun events: a Dash for Cash, a Banked Slalom and a Pond Skim.
Whether youโre a skier or a boarder, come and join the fun and carve, skim, and jump your way to ultimate glory. You can pick one event or compete in all three for your chance at the Slush Cup.
29 September โ The Dash
Reminiscent of Perisherโs iconic โDash for Cashโ, The Dash is the ultimate test of endurance, strength, and grit as skiers and snowboarders navigate a long, multi-stage course. Weโre talking lung-busting ascents, challenging traverses, and daring downhills all while trying to negotiate a series of natural obstacles. โAt what cost?โ we hear you ask. Well, not only will you be a part of Perisherโs first-ever โThe Dashโ, thereโs also a whole heap of prizes at stake including good, old-fashioned cash.

30 September โ Banked Slalom
If youโre a fan of a bumpy ride, youโll love our Banked Slalom. Not a competition for the faint-hearted, Perisherโs Banked Slalom will be full of plenty of berms, jumps, and bumps to keep the adrenaline pumping. Youโll have just two shots at being crowned Banked Slalom royalty, with your best-timed run counting towards your score. It wouldnโt be a competition without prizes, and there will be plenty as well as goodie and merch giveaways throughout the day.
