Thredbo 60 Years of Stoke: Coming of Age

Posted on 18 May, 2017 in On the Slopes

For the second instalment of the 60 Years of Stoke series, we take a look back at the era of hotdogging, après and the iconic World Cup held in Thredbo. Who better to take us through this amazing time in Thredbo’s history other than, Randy Wieman, freestyle skiing legend who has called Thredbo home for the past 40 years.

Randy takes us on a journey through the 70’s and 80’s, where fluro ski suits were the norm, snowboarding was first introduced and the baby boomers knew no limits, skiing and partying on and off the mountain like never before.

Thredbo sits on the traditional land of the Monero – Ngarigo people who have looked after this land, water and community for over 60,000 years. We thank them for all they have done and continue to do to look after their country, a special place which we all love and respect.
