Thredbo has the longest and most vertical terrain in the country, with natural hits, wind lips and powder bowls to satisfy even the most advanced riders. Thredbo's off-piste areas are up there with the best in the southern hemisphere. Whether you are taking on the rollers and kickers off Karels, pumping the boards in the powder off The Bluff or laying them over on the early corduroy of the Supertrail you'll have a blast in Thredbo.
Thredbo Snow Sports has an array of lessons and programs for the advanced rider. Consider a group or private lesson or a special program like HIP or WHIP.
HIP High Intensity Program - Level 5 - 85 Day
If you're looking to push yourself into the next level of skiing, then the High Intensity Program, lovingly known as HIP, is the program for you. Small groups of like-minded and like skilled skiers are teamed up with some of Australia's top instructors to focus on improvement and breakthrough. The 5-day program will give you the skills you need to ski with confidence on a greater variety of terrain. On the snow you work on your stance, balance, technique and terrain selection, and then in the evening there are a number of presentations that give you tips on equipment, fitness and tuning. By the end of the program you will have made new ski buddies and be armed with the knowledge and skills to take on the mountain with renewed interest and vigour.
WHIP Women's High Intensity Program - Level 5 - 8
5 Day
This one is for the girls, looking to improve their skiing in a fun and supportive environment.
The Women's High Intensity Program (WHIP) is a great way to develop your skiing with a small group of girls who are more interested in exploring new territory with confidence and improving on-snow skills than going hard and fast. Women instructors who understand the individual needs of women lead the small groups down terrain that is best suited to their ability and confidence levels. All this combined with the support of the rest of the group is what encourages learning. After 5 days on the snow with WHIP you are sure to be carving with confidence and now you will have a whole new group of snow friends
Super SessionsMore advanced skiers - your attention please - grab a Thredbo Super Session and you will get plenty of that - attention. You get to refine your on-snow skills and save some money, now that's a deal. Basically you pay for 1 hour of tuition and you receive 3 hours on the snow with one of Australia's top instructors. Groups are small, (max 3 people) and there's the chance that it might just be you, one other or there might be three but you are all of the same ability, so you can all maximise your time on the snow.
Masters TrainingThere's no-one faster than a Thredbo Master, well that's what the Thredbo Masters tell us!
Thredbo Snow Sports Masters training has groups that focus on racing the gates. There are also more technical sessions that explore a wider variety of snow conditions, with a focus on technique to guide you through the challenges of the mountain.
