Friday 13 - Saturday 14 Sep, 2024
Thredbo Backcountry Tours and The North Face are proud to present this unique experience aimed at providing more women with the opportunity to gain and develop skills beyond the resort boundaries and connect with those already immersed in the big white wonder.
Led by all-female guides, this exclusive women’s experience is split into two separate tours run on the same day. Choose between an Introduction to Backcountry tour and Beyond the Boundaries tour to upskill and boost confidence in exploring all the beauties of the backcountry. Each tour has a limited number of spots available.
Meet your backcountry team on Friday evening at Lounge Bar from 5:45pm and take the opportunity to get to know your touring buddies. Enjoy a drink and cheese board on arrival, and chat with your guides to answer any last minute questions about the following day’s adventure. All partners, friends and support crew are welcome!
Post backcountry tour, head to the Women’s Weekend Après at Lounge Bar from 5:45pm for some drinks and nibbles. Guides will give a debrief and we’ll hand out great prizes.
