Nestled in the stunning Perisher Valley, Powder Inn is the quintessential cafe for winter sports enthusiasts and casual visitors alike, providing a cozy retreat with breathtaking alpine views. As you step into this charming cafe, you're greeted not only by the warm ambiance but also by the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee that beckons to be savored after a thrilling day on the slopes.

Powder Inn's menu is designed to satisfy the cravings of skiers and snowboarders, featuring a collection of Perisher favourites that will hit the spot. Indulge in their Deluxe Brekkie Burger for A$16.20, a hearty and satisfying choice that boasts layers of deliciousness to fuel your adventures. Or try the Fish and Chips at A$27.90, perfectly crisp and pleasantly flaky, it's a dish that captures the essence of classic comfort food. Don't forget the Hot Dog for those quick snack breaks, ensuring you’re ready to hit the slopes again in no time!

From the grinder, Powder Inn offers an impressive array of beverages that elevate your cafe experience. Sip on a luxuriously creamy Hot Chocolate or choose between a Cappuccino and Café Latte to fit any moment of the day. For those desiring something a bit different, their liqueur coffees are an elegant way to warm up while you unwind. There’s nothing like enjoying a hot drink surrounded by snowy landscapes!

Guests often appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, though some have noted that it can get a bit crowded and noisy during peak times. The small upstairs dining area can seat around 50 guests, but it’s complemented by a lovely outdoor seating area for those sunny days, perfect for soaking up the mountain sun with your hot chocolate in hand. One customer mentioned that while outdoor service can be a bit slow, the lovely protected spot makes it worthwhile when the weather cooperates.

For those visiting with kids, Powder Inn caters to younger patrons with a special Kids Fish & Chips menu item, ensuring that even the little ones can have a delightful meal after several hours of skiing.

Real customers like Andrew Le rave about the cafe being “the best place on the mountain for coffee,” while others, like Stefan Jones, appreciate the cafe's convenient location and the opportunity for a quick rest among the beautiful views. With its mix of solid food, delightful drinks, and a cozy mountain vibe, Powder Inn is not just a pit stop; it's an experience to be savored.

Whether you’re looking for a comforting meal to recharge or a cozy spot to relax after an invigorating day in the snow, Powder Inn is well-equipped to provide memorable moments nestled in the heart of Perisher Valley.

Food is average but the ski in n out hut outside is a nice sheltered spot in the sun when the weather is nice. Service outside is super slow though so might be better if getting hot chocolates inside.

Small upstairs dining area that seats maybe 50 max. Menu looks to have changed from previous years - went looking for fish, but told not offered any more - burger is decent, albeit ski resort pricey, even after Epic season pass discount (still 2x more exxy than non-ski resort). Outdoor seating downstairs available separately (not allowed to bring food down).

Best place on the mountain for a coffee and hot chocolate. It can become a little noisy when crowded.
