The “DEFENDER” delivered the goods overnight, blanketing the mountain and turning Thredbo Village into an awesome winter wonderland. Early risers grabbed steep and deep pow turns down High Noon, with falling snow providing fresh tracks all morning.

All levels of riders enjoyed freshies at the Crusier area and winter stoke levels were dialled to the max. Skiers and snowboarders took advantage of all the fresh powder across the resort.
