From Thredbo To The World Stage: Wishing Luck To Our Aussie Winter Olympians
Posted on 18 Jan, 2026
With the Winter Olympic Games just around the corner, we’re sending our biggest cheers to the entire Australian Winter Olympic Team as they prepare to take on the world. It’s an honour for Thredbo to be appointed an Official Supplier to the Australian Olympic Team, supporting our athletes as they chase their Olympic dreams on the biggest stage in sport.
From early-morning training sessions to fractions-of-a-second finishes, these athletes represent the very best of Australian winter sport – grit, resilience and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.
And while we’re proudly backing the whole green and gold squad, there are a few familiar faces, especially close to home.

Our Thredbo Ambassadors have been part of the mountain community for years, and we couldn’t be prouder to see them lining up to represent Australia. So let’s take a moment to wish our Thredbo athletes the very best as they begin their Olympic journey.
Scotty James
With the Winter Olympics just around the corner, we’re sending all our support to long-time Thredbo Ambassador Scotty James. A 2x Olympic medallist, 5x World Champion and 10x X Games medallist, Scotty’s journey started right here on the mountain and continues to inspire riders around the world. After absolutely showing off with a near-perfect run in the LAAX Open in Switzerland and taking out his fifth world title… Scotty is looking primed for an unreal performance in the Olympics!

We can’t wait to watch him drop in and represent Australia on the biggest stage -good luck, Scotty. We’ll be cheering you on every run.
Tess Coady
Our girl Tess Coady is no stranger to world-wide success, with an Olympic bronze and X Games silver medal already under her belt. Beyond taking the world by storm, Tess Coady also plays host to one of the most iconic snowboarding events on the Australian calendar here in her home resort. The Tess Coady Bush Doof is a snowboarding star-studded gathering that has become a jewel in the crown of Thredbo’s winter offering!

We can’t wait to see what Tess has up her sleeve for the upcoming Olympic Games, we are with you every step of the way!
Josie Baff
We love supporting all of our ambassadors, but it is a little extra special when they are of the local variety. Born and bred in Jindabyne, NSW, 22 year old Josie Baff already has a World Champion Silver on her repertoire and is definitely one to keep an eye on!
With her signature pink helmet and incredible speed, we are already so proud of you Josie!
Ben Tudhope
Starting his Olympic career at the age of 14 at the 2014 Paralympics, Ben Tudhope has a long list of medals to his name. With a world champion title under his belt, and some time already spent on the Olympic podium, Ben is no stranger to success.
We’re so excited to see you shine at the Paralympics this year Ben – you’re our hero!
Michael Milton
Michael Milton is a single-leg skier who calls Thredbo his home and is Australia’s most successful Paralympic athlete in the Winter Games. With 6 Olympic Gold medals to his name, it’s always a delight to see Milto on the slopes at Thredbo – and we were so excited to hear that after a 20 year hiatus, Michael is making his Olympic return in 2026!
