Perisher Ski Resort
Perisher Valley, NSW – Perisher Ski Resort, one of Australia’s largest and most sought-after winter destinations, offers a wide array of activities for snow enthusiasts. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, visitors can enjoy cross-country skiing, tobogganing, and night skiing. During the warmer months, the resort transforms into a haven for bushwalking, mountain biking, and trout fishing.
Treadwell was engaged to supply the decking for a set of stairs frequently utilised by skiers and snowboarders.
Project Challenges
- Corrosion resistance was essential, particularly given the exposure to snow, ice, and moisture throughout the skiing season.
- Material needed to have anti-slip properties to combat a variety of weather conditions, including snow, sleet, and ice, was a priority for maintaining visitor safety.
- The material needed to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, withstanding the intense thermal contraction and expansion caused by harsh winter conditions.
