PlayStation & Perisher Celebrate 18 Years of Partnership


Celebrating 18 years is a big deal for everyone and with PlayStation Australia celebrating 18 years of partnering with Perisher, it was only fitting that they celebrated big.

Over the weekend, Olympic Skier Russ Henshaw took to the slopes to launch of a 60 foot jump, containing the giant ice PlayStation 4 Dual Shock 4 controller.



Perisher CEO Peter Brulisauer said, “Perisher’s PlayStation Terrain Park ranks amongst the best in the world and is the Premier Slopestyle Park in the southern hemisphere.  Due to the great work the Perisher Terrain Park team have been doing the facility is truly world-class.  This is attracting skiing and snowboarding Olympic and World Champions to Perisher to gain some valuable training time.”


“We said at the launch of PS4 that we are for the players but it doesn’t stop there. The PlayStation Slopestyle Park is the best place to play on the mountain this snow season,” said Michael Ephraim, Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Australia. “We’ve been told the success of a sponsorship on the mountain can be measured by how much signage is taken by snow lovers each season. Needless to say, we have replaced a great deal of PlayStation banners over our 18 years at Perisher which is a great sign that boarders and skiers make up for a solid part of our PlayStation gaming community.”

But that is not all, Skiers and Borders can now compete in an online competition that lets them create their perfect line and if they win, that line shall be carved into the PlayStation Terrain Park at Perisher. If you want to enter it, just click here
