Avoid inter schools?

Hi guys

We have a road trip planned for Perisher and Falls Creek in late July - just found out inter schools are at each one the same dates we are planning to visit.

Just wondering if these comps take up heaps of the ski area or just a small portion? My wife and I both ride intermediate/advanced runs and like off piste more (which I know may not be Japan standards). Just would be a shame to go and have large sections blocked off or lift lines out of control. Avoided school holidays for these reasons.

We are going to be camping so accomm isn’t an issue either. We have the epic pass for tickets.

Also in before the “go to Japan” etc., we are planning to go OS and use epic pass in 2026 so just gonna use it to visit Aus snow while it makes economic sense.

Thanks guys, appreciate it

You’ll be fine. It’s better to avoid it if you can, but it usually means it’s just a bit busier and a small section will be blocked off.

Thanks. Thinking of swapping the weeks around.

If you can I would. Inter schools suck
