View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) With temperatures dropping down to a chilly -6.4 degrees at 8:30am this morning up the top, it feels like winter has made an early arrival in May - and you won't hear us complaining! The rooftops across the Thredbo Village have had a wintry makeover, and the blanket of snow only looks thicker the further you look up the mountain 😍 Overnight, the Snow Cams have transformed, showing snowy scenes across the mountain! Opening Weekend With Opening Weekend just around the corner, this snowfall has us all counting down the hours until we can kick off Winter 2026!  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) And it's not just the snowfall that has us excited, our Opening Weekend celebrations are set to go off. With live music, live entertainment, face painting, live art, fireworks, and s'mores (just to name a few) happening across the weekend, there's a strong argument to be made that it's the best weekend of the season. Oh, and did we mention that we're promising skiing and snowboarding from day one? With the help of the All-Weather Snowmaking Machine on Friday Flat (and perhaps some more of Mother Nature's gifts), our mountain team have been working hard to ensure that you can score your first turns of the season on Saturday June 6 - so get the skis and boards ready!

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The final long weekend of the season is here, and we're not easing out quietly! With lifts spinning right through to the end of the day Monday 27th, it's your last chance to squeeze every ounce out of the season. Let's be honest, last laps are always the best laps. Maxxis Chainless Champs: Chaos Meets Speed Sunday the 26th brings one of the most iconic (and slightly unhinged) events of the season: Maxxis Chainless Champs.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb) No chain. No pedalling. No excuses! It’s all about gravity, guts, and picking the fastest line down the hill. Whether you’re racing for glory or just here for the spectacle, this is as good as it gets. Expect flat-out runs, questionable fancy dress decisions, and a crowd that’s just as rowdy as the riders. Prizes are up for grabs for both speed and style - so go fast, go wild, or ideally, both. The Final Send-Off Once the racing wraps, we’re turning things up a notch for the official season send-off. Head to the Pub Deck on Sunday night where DJ Fin will be spinning into the evening, bringing the kind of dancefloor energy that only a closing party can deliver. This is your moment to celebrate a season well ridden. Back It Up If you're not done yet (good for you), the lifts will still be spinning for anyone ready to back it up on Sunday! Monday is for the diehards - the legs might be cooked but the stoke will be high. We're sure you'll see plenty of familiar faces making the most of those last few laps.]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[We're always looking for new ways to elevate your winter experience, and this winter, we're adding a touch of exclusive to two of our most-loved dining experiences at Kareela Hutte.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) For a three-week window, guests will have the rare opportunity to privately buyout our Kareela Snowcat Dinner presented by St Hugo Wines, and our Kareela Supper Club presented by Pommery Champagne. Yes, that's right - just you and 18 of your luckiest friends, enjoying a private dining experience on the slopes, under the stars... magic!

These dining experiences open the doors to something different, giving you the chance to experience Kareela without needing to click into bindings. Kareela Snowcat Dinner presented by St Hugo Wines Picture this: your evening begins with a scenic snowcat journey through our illuminated alpine landscape, taking you up to the warmly lit restaurant nestled on the slopes.

                <title>Breaking Ground: Brand New Downhill And Jumps Trail Builds Underway</title>

                <postedOn>April 14, 2026</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[New Downhill Build It’s been a long time coming… so you’ll have to forgive our excitement about breaking ground on our new downhill build. There’s a certain kind of gravity trail that draws riders from near and far- steep, raw and unforgiving - and this one delivers on all fronts.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb) Construction is officially underway on what will become our most technical downhill track to date: a full-throttle, double black descent built for advanced riders chasing the next level. Dropping in from the top of the Merritts Gondola, the trail charges straight down the fall line beneath the lift, cutting through rugged, largely untouched alpine terrain. Expect natural rock features, tight technical sections and steep pitches that demand total focus. To bring this vision to life, we’ve partnered with Elevation Parks, Australia’s most renowned trail builders, to create a line that not only pushes riders - but sets a new benchmark for technical downhill riding in Australia. This isn’t just a new trail, it’s a return to our roots. Downhill has always been part of Thredbo’s DNA, and this build marks a major step forward in reasserting that identity - delivering more gravity, more tech and more challenge than ever before.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb) New Jumps Trail But it’s not just the Downhill diehards who will benefit. Complementing the downhill build, we’re also constructing a brand-new, modern-era intermediate jumps trail, designed to help riders progress their airtime and park skills. Starting in the Cruiser area, this will be Thredbo’s longest jumps line to date, featuring close to 50 jumps before finishing at the Merritts Gondola mid-station. Together, these new trails signal a new era for Thredbo&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Track Report by Jonathan Francis | Head Guide What season is it, again? Snow today, Sun tomorrow! Autumn is a unique time in the Snowy Mountains, with the views changing daily to reflect the weather we've just had. I always say that my favourite time in the mountains is that first snowfall, when one can sit in the peaks and watch the world turn from green to white. That's the best part about Autumn in Thredbo - we get that moment more than once! It can be a tougher time for the alpine plant life, though. Where one day it will be bright and sunny, coaxing out some late-blooming flowers, the next could see a biting frost or a snowfall deep enough to bury them again. Temperatures rise and fall, and the increasing winds blow fiercely over anything which deigned to grow too high this year! You'll still be able to catch sight of a few lonely flowers, so keep an eye out for Golden Everlasting by the river, or a Waxy Bluebell up in the Alpine. These late-season bloomers can even pass on a few lessons to us about how to enjoy the mountains best in Autumn. A prepared hiker has much more fun! Mountain weather changes rapidly, and Autumn will definitely remind you. One day of snowfall can be enough to cover the track to Kosciuszko Summit, and the next day's sun could melt it right away - or just leave a big puddle in the middle! Perhaps we wake to a bit of cold rain but warm right up once the sun comes over the hills. Likewise, what starts as a warm, sunny morning could very quickly be blown away in those cold Northwest winds! At this time of year, it's very important to be prepared for&hellip;]]></excerpt>

The village was buzzing as young riders rolled in ready to compete, challenge themselves and experience the thrill of racing at one of Australia’s premier mountain bike parks. The massive turnout at this year’s event is a clear sign of the rapid growth of mountain biking in Australia, especially among younger riders. From first-time racers to seasoned competitors, the trails were packed with energy as students pushed their limits and cheered on teammates throughout the week. Students from Years 3–12 competed across five divisions, with racing taking place in some of the most exciting formats in mountain biking. The action was non-stop across key events including the RockShox Downhill, Fox Flow, Maxxis Pump Track Challenge and the Specialized All-Mountain, giving riders the chance to test their skills across a variety of terrain and disciplines.

Ben Tudhope Takes Silver Flying down the course with his trademark speed, precision and fearless style, Ben showed exactly why he’s one of the most exciting snowboarders in the sport. In a stacked field of international talent, the Thredbo ambassador put down an outstanding run to secure a place on the podium and add another medal to Australia’s growing Winter Paralympic legacy.  Ben first captured the world’s attention when he became the youngest Australian ever to compete at Winter Paralympics at the age of 14. Going on to win Bronze at 22 years old in Beijing 2022. Since then, he has continued to push the progression of para-snowboarding, inspiring a new generation of athletes while proudly flying the Aussie flag around the globe. Now in 2026, Ben has once again delivered when it matters most. His silver medal performance is a testament to years of hard work, relentless training and the support of the Australian winter sports community behind him. At Thredbo, we couldn’t be prouder to call Ben one of our ambassadors. Watching him compete on the world stage and seeing the Thredbo spirit shine through every run is something the entire mountain community celebrates. Moments like this are a reminder that champions aren’t just made on competition day - they’re built through countless laps, early mornings and the passion for riding that starts right here in the mountains. Congratulations Ben on an incredible achievement. The Thredbo community is cheering you on every step of the way 🥈 Ride where champions train, Winter 2026 starts here! Book Now]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Track Report by Jonathan Francis | Head Guide The mountains make their own weather, and the sky is always a new show. A little rain just keeps things fresh! By late Summer, things can often start to look a little dry in the Alpine. The snow patches have melted, and the sun has chased away all the rain. Even the bright green Sphagnum Moss takes on a rusty tinge of colour as the water slowly flows downhill. You'll always know when the seasons start to shift here because the mountains themselves will tell you! Here at Thredbo, we enjoyed a few days of waking up to a beautiful inversion of clouds hanging low in the valley - you can see a photo of this below! By local indigenous histories, this signals the stirring of Garrugalla, son of the local Rainmaker. Living in the clouds which form above the Main Range, he is responsible for making snow, ice, frost, dew and the cold winds we expect from Winter. To signal the fading of the Summer heat, we often awake to these low-lying clouds as Garrugalla exerts his influence once more! The cooling weather, coupled with some recent rainfall, has breathed fresh life into the Snowy Mountains. Streams and rivers rumble once more as they fill with new flow, and the landscape takes on a deeper green. There is even a resurgence of some beautiful flowers which love to keep their feet wet! We tend to see more birds of prey hanging around too, as the need for shelter from a blazing sun becomes less important. Make the most of your mountain time - check the weather forecast and dress accordingly! At the tail of Summer, the mountains of Australia experience a surge of beauty. Though not the fresh bloom of Spring,&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[That’s a wrap on Cannonball MTB Festival presented by Boost Mobile... and what a week it’s been. For five huge days, Thredbo transformed into the beating heart of Australian gravity riding. More than 500 riders rolled into the mountains, over $120,000 in cash and prizes were up for grabs, and thanks to perfectly timed rain early in the week, the dirt stayed all-time from first practice to final podium. From Enduro to Flow, Dual Slalom to Pump Track, every corner of the bike park was buzzing. The Specialized All-Mountain Enduro set the tone early, pushing riders across the full mountain, while the Fox Flow Motion Cup delivered high-speed rhythm and midweek fireworks. Dual Slalom brought bar-to-bar intensity to Friday Flat, and the Oakley Pump Track Challenge lit up Village Green under lights with a packed crowd cheering every sprint and manual. But as always, all eyes turned to the big one - the Australian Open Downhill.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb) With more than 450 competitors dropping in, the downhill track demanded absolute precision. In a nail-biting Pro Men’s final, Troy Brosnan rose to the occasion to take the win ahead of Luke Meier-Smith and Zac Bradley. In the Pro Women’s field, Jenna Hastings claimed victory, with Elleni Turkovic and Pheobe Gale rounding out the podium. One of the standout stories of the weekend came from Thredbo Ambassador Maddie Lloyd. Racing outside the Pro category, she laid down the fastest overall women’s time on the mountain — a statement ride that has firmly marked her as one to watch. As the sun dipped behind the peaks, the energy only climbed.

Party Laps, No Pressure The morning kicked off with the second instalment of the Specialized Party Lap, and it delivered exactly what it promised - good crew, good dirt and zero race clock. More than 50 riders dropped into Kosciuszko Flow Trail, led by Aussie gravity heavyweights Dave McMillan and Remy Morton. What followed was a full-train send down one of Thredbo’s most-loved flow tracks. High speed, big berms and plenty of chaos... just classic Cannonball energy.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb) No timing chips. No start beeps. Just a community rolling top to bottom together. Seeding Sets the Tone Attention quickly shifted to the big one - official seeding for the RockShox Australian Open Downhill. With over 450 riders on course, the mountain was alive from top to bottom as competitors dialled lines and laid down times on Thredbo’s notoriously technical downhill track. Precision, commitment and course knowledge were all on display as riders balanced risk versus reward ahead of finals. With racing kicking off tomorrow, the spotlight turns to defending champions Troy Brosnan and Sian A'Hern, who’ll be looking to hold onto their titles against a deep and hungry field. Pump Track Party As the sun dipped behind the peaks, the action moved to Village Green for the Oakley Pump Track Challenge - and the vibe shifted up another gear. Under lights and in front of a packed crowd, more than 300 racers went wheel-to-wheel on the tight, high-speed circuit. Every roller, manual and sprint mattered, with riders pumping for every ounce of speed.&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Wow, what a day at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games for our Thredbo Ambassadors. Josie Baff Takes Gold From 17th in the time trial to top of the podium... that’s how Josie Baff does it. After scraping through the quarterfinal in a photo finish, the Jindabyne local turned up the heat. A bold inside move in the semi saw her surge from third to first, booking her spot in a stacked Big Final. A decisive mid-race pass put her into the lead, and she never gave it back - crossing the line in first in a statement win. From mid-pack to untouchable. That’s our girl. Scotty James Officially Our Most Decorated Winter Olympian It's official, Scotty James has locked in his title as our most decorated Winter Olympian - and we are so proud. Watching him achieve this title in his home resort this morning was truly something special.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) It came down to the wire in a best-of-three final where Scotty's second run ultimately scored him the medal with a 93.5. A true champion, we are so proud of you Scotty!]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[If day three of Cannonball MTB Festival presented by Boost Mobile proved anything, it’s that the momentum is well and truly building in Thredbo. With hero dirt conditions and sunshine overhead, more than 400 riders dropped into the Fox Flow Motion Cup for a fast, flowing midweek showdown.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb) Known for its sweeping berms and high-speed rhythm sections, Flow Motion is a rider favourite for good reason - it rewards skill, flow and commitment, no matter your discipline. Flying the Thredbo flag high, MTB instructor Daniel Scobie claimed the Pro Men’s win in style, with Ryan Gilchrist and Thomas Locke rounding out the podium. In the Pro Women’s field, Zana Evans took top honours, followed by Sian A’Hern in second and Elleni Turkovic in third. As the afternoon rolled on, the energy shifted to Friday Flat for the Maxxis Dual Slalom... and the vibe was next level. This year’s course came with a full revamp, featuring brand-new features and a mid-course wall ride that pushed riders as they went bar-to-bar in tight, head-to-head racing. Spectators lined the course under the afternoon sun, while the Boost Mobile snowcat-turned-DJ deck pumped tunes from the centre of the action. The result? Neck-and-neck battles, dramatic finishes and a whole lot of noise from the crowd. With more racing still to come, Cannonball is only ramping up. From high-speed flow to bar-to-bar intensity, Thredbo is delivering world-class competition wrapped in pure festival atmosphere - and we’re only just getting started.]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Cannonball MTB Festival presented by Boost Mobile has officially kicked off in Thredbo, and the mountain is buzzing. With more than 500 riders descending on the Thredbo and over $120k in cash and prizes up for grabs, the most anticipated week on the MTB calendar is already delivering. After some well-timed rainfall earlier in the week, conditions were all-time for day one, with prime dirt across the entire park setting the scene for an unforgettable opening to the festival.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb) The action began with the Specialized All-Mountain Enduro, a demanding three-stage, 7km course that truly put riders to the test. Spanning the full mountain, competitors dropped in from the top of the Cruiser Chairlift and raced all the way back to Valley Terminal in a course designed to challenge even the most committed enduro purists. Podium presentations capped off the racing, with Ryan Gilchrist, Thomas Locke and Tim Eaton taking out first, second and third in the Pro Men's field and Elleni Turkovic, Zana Evans and Sabina Kosarkove securing the top three places in the Pro Women. With cumulative points counting towards the coveted Kind and Queen of Cannonball titles, the leaderboard is already shaping up to be one to watch as the week unfolds. Off the race track, the Cannonball energy was just as strong. Riders and spectators soaked up the atmosphere with the Specialized Party Lap, led by Dave McMillan and Remy Morton, lighting up the mountain in the morning.

CLEAR SKIES AHEAD FOR THE LONG WEEKEND An Aussie loves a long weekend - and our mountains are no exception! Warm, sunny skies expected for several days to come, and this is bringing out some of the best views on offer in the Alpine. Flowers spring up in new places with every passing week, with an abundance of Snow Daisies and Eyebrights following the path from Thredbo to Mt Kosciuszko. Here at Thredbo, we are very pleased to see that several snow patches are still visible on the high peaks. In the past couple of years, Summer has been quite hot and dry, leading to the loss of our snow patches early in the Summer. This year, some cool cycles - along with the incredible snow season we experienced in Winter 2025 - mean that the lingering snow is keeping the soils of our alpine cool and wet, just the way they like it! This also leads to long blooming cycles for our alpine flowers, which keeps the colourful views around for much longer. We expect the great weather to stick around for a while, so it's a great time to enjoy the alpine trails. Be prepared for some bright Australian sun with the big three - sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat! Interested in learning more about the beautiful flowers you see, or tackling one of the more adventurous routes? Thredbo Guided Adventures has got you covered! From gorgeous sunsets on the peaks to exploring off the beaten path, we are excited to get out there with you.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Track Report by Jonathan Francis | Head Guide There’s still snow around, but the flowers are taking centre stage! THREDBO TO MT KOSCIUSZKO Things are warming up in the alpine areas of Kosciuszko National Park, and the flowers are reflecting that by coming out to greet the Summer sun. Though there are still snow patches on the heights, most have melted to leave space for the fields of wildflowers. It’s still early days for the Summer blooming season, but we are seeing new colours with every passing week. Mountain Celery flowers are filling the grass fields with their fluffy white heads, and the creamy stalks of Candle Heath line the banks of creeks and rivers. You will still spot some snow along the walk to Mt Kosciuszko, with some lingering snow patches covering short sections of the final summit ascent. Be prepared for these sections by wearing sturdy shoes and take your time when crossing the snow with short steps to maintain your balance. THE VILLAGE COMES ALIVE Down in the village there is an abundant variety of blooming flowers. We suggest taking a stroll on the Meadows Nature Track to see some beautiful Alpine Mint Flowers, or my personal favourite – the Kosciuszko Rose (pictured below). At this time of year, this can be seen as a rosebud waiting its turn or opened into a gorgeous spread of tiny white stars, depending on how high up the hill you find it! Thredbo Guided Adventures is off with a bang, taking in some incredible sunsets up in Australia’s highest places. There are plenty of opportunities throughout the Summer to join us for an adventure during the day, or some great golden views during our sunset tours.

                <title>International Mountain Day 2025: Celebrating the Mountains We Love</title>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Happy International Mountain Day, mountain lovers! Today’s all about appreciating the peaks, valleys and wild places that make life feel a little bigger - and this year’s theme, “Glaciers matter for water, food and livelihoods in mountains and beyond,” is a powerful reminder of just how important these environments really are.  Glaciers: A Global Lifeline Even though we don’t have active glaciers in Australia today, they’re a major part of the global story. Glaciers hold about 70% of the world’s freshwater, keeping rivers flowing, crops growing and communities supported. Here in Kosciuszko National Park, the landscape still carries the marks of ancient ice. Around 17,000–20,000 years ago, glaciers carved out the dramatic terrain we love exploring today - from sweeping U-shaped valleys to iconic alpine lakes like Blue Lake, Lake Cootapatamba, Lake Albina and Club Lake. If you’ve hiked the Main Range on a bluebird day, you’ve literally walked through time. Our Commitment to the Mountains Days like today also remind us why taking care of this place matters. Thredbo is proud to operate with ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certification, which helps guide everything from how we manage waste and protect waterways to how we operate lifts, venues and events sustainably. We’re also incredibly proud to have been awarded Gold EarthCheck Sustainable Destination Certification five years running - the first Australian snow resort to achieve this internationally recognised milestone. EarthCheck’s rigorous standards span 12 key performance areas, covering everything from energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction to land use planning and waste management. We’re continually investing in initiatives that reduce our footprint, protect fragile alpine habitats and support the long-term health of the Snowies, because these mountains deserve nothing less. Head to our Environment &amp; Sustainability page to learn more about our initiatives. Any Season, Every Reason The&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[If you were anywhere near Thredbo over the last few days, you probably heard the buzz, as almost 4000 runners took on the Ultra Trail Kosciuszko!  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) Ultra Trail Kosciuszko rolled through the region from 26 November, sending runners off on 30km, 50km, 100km and 100mi distances... with every journey ending with a will-earned celebration at Friday Flat in Thredbo. Let's take a look at how trail running took over Thredbo thanks to our friends at UTMB! 30km and 50km Races Get The Party Started The 50km runners were the first to kick off a huge few days of trail running on Thursday, and not long after, they were joined by the 30km wave. With most of the 3,700 runners in these two races, once the first finisher was cheered across the line at Friday Flat, the energy shot through the roof, and stayed there all day. And 100km &amp; 100mi For The Grand Finale Yes you read that right, Friday morning saw the 100mile (that's 160km!!) and the 100km racers take the stage. And among the 100km runners? Two of our very own! Matt (above) and Renee and Caz (below), are long time Thredbo team members, and avid trail runners, crossed the start line and set out on a challenging 100km run on home soil. As this is being written, they are beyond the half way point, and we are all cheering them on every step of the way! A huge thank you to all the runners who came and left it all out on the trails, we can't wait to do it all again next year.]]></excerpt>

And how could we not mention the Moi Moi Mega Train taking over the trails on Saturday...

Thanks to the hard work of the trail crew, most of Thredbo’s signature trails opened right on time, giving riders plenty to choose from despite the unseasonal snowfall. The new link-up on everyone’s radar - Wombat Walk into Bobshred - became the unofficial hot lap of the weekend, especially for the groms who lapped it relentlessly from first chair to last. Although the weather rolled in - the purists were out in full force, and all are looking forward to wait this rainfall means for trail conditions heading into Thredbo's holiday period!

As the 2025 conditions continued to impress with the help of great snowmaking efforts, a few top-ups from Mother Nature, and our incredible grooming team the fun was also ramping up off the mountain with our Après Club in full swing!

                <title>Meet Matty: One Of Our Expert Backcountry Guides</title>
                <cat></cat>
                <postedOn>September 20, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[Everyone, meet Matty - an adventure sports photographer turned alpine guide whose love for the mountains has shaped both his career and lifestyle. What began in 2021 as a dream to live among the peaks quickly grew into a passion for backcountry touring, sparked by a guiding course recommended by a friend. Since then, Matty has traded lenses for ski boots, helping others experience the raw beauty of Thredbo’s alpine terrain. With qualifications in guiding, avalanche safety and wilderness first aid, he’s dedicated to creating safe, fun and unforgettable backcountry adventures, and inspiring others to push their own boundaries along the way. How did you get into guiding and what skills have you developed? My first season was during Covid and I was fortunate enough to join some free guiding courses through a training organization. Subsequent seasons were spent shooting backcountry projects with heaps of friends and guides and growing my own personal skills. After that it was an easy sidestep into guiding, which is great because it gives me a break from shooting but allows me to still do what I love: spending time in the backcountry with friends! One skill I think I’ve developed is allowing people the space to safely push their own personal boundaries – whatever they may be – and always ending a day feeling challenged yet rewarded. What’s your favourite thing about guiding in Thredbo’s backcountry? I love being able to show what makes our alpine so unique and share even a small part of the positive impact that the Aussie Backcountry has had on my life! What kind of terrain can people expect to explore on a Thredbo Backcountry Tour? Depending on what you’ve booked, you can expect technical terrain, mellow turns or just beautiful snow gums. We are lucky that we have&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[From ski instructing in Australia to patrolling in Canada, guiding in Japan, and working with the Mountain Safety Collective, Claudine has carved out a seriously impressive snow career... and she's only just getting started! Growing up in Sydney but spending every winter in Jindabyne since her teens, the mountains have always been her true home. With plenty of qualifications, guiding experience across the globe, and a deep love for the backcountry, she's exactly the kind of person you'd want showing you the ropes! But beyond the credentials, Claudine is all about good food, great views and making most of mountain life. We got to know Claudine a little better and learn more about her journey... keep scrolling! How did you get into guiding and what skills have you developed? Honestly, it’s less of a straight path and more of a chaotic snow-covered zigzag - the kind you only understand when you zoom all the way out. It technically started when my mum and dad met on a chairlift (yep, ski love story), so you could say I was raised with skis on my feet and goggle tans in my blood. I ended up cross-country ski racing for Australia and got to travel the world - chasing snow, medals, and very questionable accommodation. But eventually I ran out of fitness and money, which is a tragic combo for a ski racer. So naturally, the next step was… a ski season! I started instructing and absolutely loved it - enough to follow the snow to Canada, where I did another season, then somehow found myself ski patrolling in Fernie. (Pro tip: give a girl some explosives and she’ll fall in love.) When my visa expired (RIP Canada), I came home to Australia, joined the guiding crew at Thredbo, and worked as a&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Our latest youth backcountry tour was one for the books! With three snowboarders and one skier, all aged 16-18 and riding at an impressively high level, the crew was ready to hit the ground running.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Guided Adventures (@thredboguides) We wasted no time getting into the fun terrain around Bogong Creek, and it didn't take long to discover the snow quality was exceptional. After a long and flowing run all the way into the base of the creek, the group was buzzing and eager for more. Next on the agenda: a push to the Ewes Rock summit. This meant an hour of solid skinning up steep terrain, testing both fitness and determination. The payoff, though, was massive. From the top, the group soaked in panoramic alpine views before dropping into a steep chute off the eastern flank of the peak. The descent was nothing short of amazing, weaving through the trees, carving lines in untouched now, and wrapping it all up with a picture-perfect creekside lunch. Days like this remind us why backcountry riding is so special: challenge, adventure, and the reward of turns well earned. With a crew this strong and stoked, the future of freeride looks very bright indeed. With another healthy spring top up of snow, the conditions in the backcountry are looking unreal!

Oh you know, just the best spring conditions Thredbo's seen in YEARS! And when we say years, we mean it!

The Storms Let's look back on the storm that started it all... Arriving right on time on Opening Weekend and delivering a 53cm storm total that launched us into winter 2025. The next significant dump arrived on the 25th of June delivering a whopping 43cm that, on top of a strong few weeks of snowmaking, made for a dreamy run into July.

                <cat></cat>
                <postedOn>August 16, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[When the topic of Kareela Hutte comes up, it’s often spoken about with a bit of that “if you know, you know” energy. And sure, scoring a booking can sometimes feel like a mission... but we think everyone deserves the chance to experience Australia’s most iconic on-snow venue. Keep scrolling for a glimpse of what makes Kareela Hutte so legendary. With a menu packed full of delicious food and drinks, and a vibe that’s both luxurious and cosy, Kareela is the kind of place that convinces you to skip just “one more lap” in favour of “one more round.” First opened in 1959, this European-inspired hideaway quickly became the place for skiers and snowboarders to indulge, mingle, and dance the afternoon away, traditions that are still very much alive today. From bluebird mornings spent sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the Supertrail, to long, stormy lunches with strudel and schnapps by the fire, every visit to Kareela is its own kind of magic. And the best part? Whether you’re a local legend or a first-timer, one trip to Kareela Hutte is never your last.]]></excerpt>

                <title>11th Annual Transfer Banked Slalom Recap</title>

                <postedOn>August 16, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[When the most anticipated snowboard event of the year rolls into Thredbo, it brings with it an electric buzz you can feel from the carpark to the top of the course. This year, Mother Nature decided to turn up the drama with a full-blown blizzard... but if anything, it only added fuel to the fire. The snowboarding community showed up in force, grinning through the gusts and proving that a little whiteout can’t dim the stoke.   For the 11th annual Transfer Banked Slalom, the theme was Arabian Nights, and with the great pyramids dotting the course and a snowy sphynx watching over the berms, it was pure magic!   The Thredbo Park Crew served up a course worthy of the legend: towering banks, lightning-fast turns, and a layout that kept riders guessing right to the end. It was the kind of day where grit, style, and community spirit mattered just as much as speed, and if we could, we'd do it all over again... storm and all!   Despite the challenging course and conditions, racers went all out to set mind-blowing times and chase glory! Competition was fierce, but camaraderie shone through from the groms through to the masters, as riders cheered each other on, shared high-fives at the finish, and celebrated every run like it was a win.   A huge shoutout to all our event sponsors who made sure everyone, from competitors to spectators, was looked after in style! Pirate Life and Yeti kept the drinks flowing, G-Shock kept every second perfectly on point, Sun Bum had everyone stocked up and dreaming of endless sunshine, and Volcom brought the core snowboarding vibes full throttle, with the legendary Bryan Iguchi adding his signature energy to the day.   All eyes were on the&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <postedOn>August 16, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[Sure, most of the action at Thredbo happens while the lifts are turning, but there’s a special kind of magic once the sun slips behind the peaks. Usually, it’s a world only our night crew of groomers, snowmakers, and the odd wandering wombat get to enjoy. This winter, we invited photographer Oat to join the nocturnal shift, capturing the beauty of Thredbo under the stars, and giving us all a rare glimpse of the mountains after dark. Oat’s work has a way of stopping you in your tracks. Using long-exposure techniques, he captures the kind of detail our eyes can’t always catch in the moment... stars stretching endlessly, the soft, silver glow of the Milky Way spilling across the horizon, and the snow reflecting every bit of that cosmic light. What makes his imagery so special is how it shifts your perspective. We’re used to seeing Thredbo buzzing with skiers, and snowboarders, but Oat reveals a side that’s more calm and unhurried. Spending hours in the cold, Oat's carefully placed cameras capture all the stillness, minimal light pollution, and the moon’s gentle absence. If you want to see more of Oat's amazing work, follow him on Instagram here.]]></excerpt>

                <postedOn>August 15, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[Our backcountry guides are pretty proud of the Australian backcountry, and we are pretty proud of our guides! We caught up with Mimi to talk mountains, backcountry adventures, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Mimi clipped into her first pair of skis at age five and never looked back. Six years ago, a trip to Japan introduced her to the magic of the backcountry, setting her on a lifelong path to guiding. From cat skiing in Canada to patrolling in Fernie, Mimi’s racked up serious experience and qualifications in guiding, avalanche safety, first aid, and ski instructing. Now, she’s sharing her passion for the Australian alpine - educating guests on its beauty, complexity, and the importance of protecting it. How did you get into guiding and what skills have you developed? I first got into guiding through my love of touring, especially in the Main Range, which I find incredibly unique and magical. Meeting other lead Guides was a turning point; their encouragement and example inspired me to pursue guiding more seriously and get certified. From there, I went full send and now I’m here! Over the years, I’ve developed a solid mix of technical and interpersonal skills. These include mountain navigation and route planning, avalanche search and rescue (AvSAR), rope and crevasse rescue, and remote area first aid. Just as importantly, I’ve learned how to create meaningful, safe, and enjoyable experiences for guests. Whether it’s someone’s first time on a tour or they’re a seasoned adventurer looking to explore new terrain. What’s your favourite thing about guiding in Thredbo’s backcountry? There is something special about moving through this landscape; I always felt a deep sense of awe and gratitude being out in the backcountry. I love the openness and vastness of the alpine. It feels like a&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Our guides are pretty proud of the Australian backcountry, and we are pretty proud of our guides! Keep scrolling and join us as we shine a light on backcountry guide, Owen! Owen's journey with Thredbo began back in 2001, when he hit the slopes as a ski and snowboard instructor - even picking up telemarking to explore the backcountry long before it was on most people's radar. Two decades later, he's back with Thredbo's backcountry guiding team, sharing his deep local knowledge and passion for venturing beyond the resort boundaries. Alongside guiding, Owen helps deliver backcountry condition reports for the Mountain Safety Collective and brings formal training in wilderness first aid, guiding and avalanche risk management to every trip. How did you get into guiding and what skills have you developed? As a former ski and snowboard instructor who grabbed every opportunity to be in the backcountry for my own fun, it felt like a natural progression moving into guiding. While instructing experience is great for helping guests develop their backcountry skills through a structured learning progression, I’ve needed to round out my guiding skills with advanced first aid, navigation and avalanche safety certifications. What's your favourite thing about guiding in Thredbo's backcountry? Being able to utilise the resort’s lift system to access amazing backcountry terrain is a huge advantage for guests at Thredbo – we're out and into it immediately instead of slogging uphill for a couple of hours just to get our first turns. As Thredbo’s guiding team is fully integrated into the resort’s operations, our safety protocols and access to emergency support is something no other guiding team has in Australia.   What kind of terrain can people expect to explore on a Thredbo Backcountry Tour? The beauty of Thredbo is we can access backcountry terrain suitable&hellip;]]></excerpt>

Behind every rail, jump, mini pipe and transition is a dedicated crew of park builders and groomers who live and breathe freestyle... and this season, they've been delivering the goods! From finishing touches at first light, to the final rake of the day, the Thredbo Park Crew have been hard at work keeping things fresh, fun and progressive across the mountain. Whether you're boosting in the Boost Mobile Terrain Park, hitting creative lines through Antons Park, or dropping into MOOKi's Mini Pipe (Australia's only half-pipe), there's one thing every feature has in common: it's been shaped with purpose and precision. Boost Mobile Terrain Park Quickly becoming one of the most popular progression terrain parks in the country, the Boost Mobile Terrain Park in the Cruiser Area is an iconic part of Thredbo's winter offering. With a well-balanced lines of rails, boxes and jumps for every level, there's rarely a day when this Terrain Park isn't buzzing. While this park is open to the public, it also plays host to some of Thredbo’s most well-known events - like the Thredbo Triple Crown Rails. For this event, the park underwent a full rebuild, creating the perfect stage for riders to throw down and showcase their rail skills. Catch the action from Triple Crown below.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[There's a buzz in the air at Thredbo and it's not just the wind picking up... there's a storm brewing and we are all on high alert! Our eyes are glued to the forecast as we brace ourselves for another snowstorm - but the real question is, how much will fall? Temperatures have already started to drop, and ominous-looking clouds linger around the peaks as anticipation hits an all-time high. While we have been spoiled so far when it comes to snowfall this season, there's simply no such thing as too much... right? Everyone is putting their bets on the snowstorm totals but only time will tell. The Forecast Everyone has their weather channel of choice, but let's have a look at a few! First up, let's see what Mountainwatch has to say! With over 10cm forecasted for the next two days, and 50cm in the 7 day forecast... we hope that Reggae is on the money with this one!  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Mountainwatch (@mountainwatch) Then, we have Snow-Forecast.com, a favourite among those who spend their off-season in Japan - and while we might not be seeing Japan level totals here, the 30cm storm prediction looks veeeery nice! Some also look to Tyson Millar for his weigh in on the forecast, and while he says that it's a mixed outlook, there's apparently some 'junk in the trunk' by Sunday through Tuesday! Read more here. Beyond The Snow While the anticipation for the snowfall seems a little all-consuming, we can't ignore that we have a big forecast of good-times guaranteed over the next few weeks in Thredbo. Thredbo Uni Week is well underway with live music and big vibes all across the mountain. See the full line-up here.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <cat></cat>
                <postedOn>July 19, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[When winter arrives in the Snowy Mountains and night falls, our snowmakers appear. At Thredbo, our snowmakers are the unsung heroes who turn the relentless cold temperatures and clear nights into white carpets that blanket our slopes. Join us in shining a light on this season's incredible efforts from our snowmakers - and the groundbreaking new tech taking snowmaking to the next level! The Science Behind Every Flake Snowmaking isn't just spraying water - it's an intricate ballet of temperature, humidity, water pressure and airflow. Since Thredbo first introduced snowmaking in 1987 (the same year the first mobile phone call was made in Australia), the craft has evolved dramatically. Today's snow guns produce a fine mist that stays airborne in freezing air temperatures until it crystallizes into snow - a process requiring the perfect balance. Snowmaking engineers are constantly refining the nozzle designs, fan angles, and automation systems to maximise efficiency and quality when the conditions are just right. Meet The All-Weather Snowmaking Unit Here’s the headline act: Thredbo’s brand-new All‑Weather Snowmaking Unit (the Demac Lenko SnowPRO 260) is a game-changer. It’s NSW’s first of its kind - capable of producing up to 260 m³ of snow per day in temperatures as high as 20 °C.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) This isn’t just a novelty - it’s a transformative investment. Why Friday Flat? Friday Flat's gentle slopes are the perfect playground for first timers - but typically suffer when temps climb. Now, consistent snow coverage becomes possible even on warm days, ensuring learners have dependable snow underfoot from Opening Day to Closing Weekend. ]]></excerpt>

                <postedOn>July 15, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[This weekend, the future of Aussie snow sports was well and truly on show at Thredbo as Project Shred returned with 170 stoked groms, 15 legendary coaches (including 7 Olympians) and one custom-built terrain park designed for progression, confidence and fun. From first park laps to brand new tricks, the next generation of shredders absolutely sent it - and the vibe on the mountain? Electric. Learning From The Best In The Game What makes Project Shred so special? The coaching lineup. This year, kids were lucky enough to ride alongside an unreal crew of elite athletes and mentors including Paralympian Ben Tudhope and Olympians Tess Coady, Scott Kneller, Josie Baff, Abi Harrigan, Russ Henshaw and Manuela Berchtold. They were joined by Thredbo ambassadors and snow sports legends, Jye Kearney, Juan George, Airish George, Andy James, Arkie Ellis, Joey Ellis, Charles Beckinsale, Beau Goodwin and Nate Goodwin. One of the most inspiring full-circle moments came from Josie Baff, who once attended the event as a grom herself. Now an Olympian, Josie returned this year as a coach - sharing her experience and passion with the next generation and proving just how far these events can take you. With tailored tips, trick breakdowns and plenty of encouragement, the coaches helped groms push past their comfort zones and unlock new skills with confidence. A Park Built For Progression To match the hype, the Thredbo Parks team designed a custom progression park specifically for Project Shred. With grom-friendly jumps, boxes and rollers, it was the perfect playground for kids to build their skills and try something new. Whether it was their first time hitting a feature or they were out to stomp a personal best, every single grom rose to the occasion - cheered on by coaches, parents and new mates.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[We've been hit with another awesome winter storm, delivering 39cm of fresh snow over the past three days, transforming the resort into a snowy paradise in the heart of the July School Holidays! Overnight snowfall dropped a fresh 7cms across the mountain, alongside 147 pumping snow guns, adding to an already impressive storm total. Keep scrolling to take a look at how the storm unfolded in Thredbo over the last few days, and what that means for fresh terrain! Wednesday, July 9 We woke up on Wednesday to 12cm of fresh snow and blizzard conditions. While the wind was fierce, so were the stashes - with powder enthusiasts seeking out dreamy, untouched patches off-piste. Thursday, July 10 With the storm swiftly taking a turn from snowy, to even snowier in the early hours of Thursday morning, Thredbo awoke to a thick blanket of snow in the village. Overnight snowfall clocked 20cm, and the flakes were still falling thick and fast. The groomers left some 'powder for the people' on the runs and guests didn't have to do any searching for those dreamy, deep turns.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) Friday, July 11 With flakes continuing to fall all day Thursday and into Thursday night, waking up to another 7cm on Friday was just the cherry on top. With winds picking up across the mountain, those who persevered were treated to huge powder pockets and wind-blown gold across the mountain as lifts opened up. More Terrain Unlocked! As of tomorrow, July 12, Sponars T-Bar is officially joining the party. With 39cm of snow sitting in the resort, Sponars will unlock plenty of untouched terrain for powder hunters to enjoy!

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Every snowboarder knows there's one day on the calendar that stands above the rest - and it's back! Going down on the 15th of August, the 11th annual Transfer Banked Slalom is back and it's shaping up to be bigger, better and faster than ever. This event isn't just a race, it's a celebration of snowboarding in all its forms. From groms as young as seven to Olympic heavyweights, the Transfer Banked Slalom brings together generations of riders to battle it out on a fresh course that's teeming with turns. Each year, we work closely with park crew and Transfer to dream up a course that's fast, fun and full of flow. It winds through the trees of Playground in the Cruiser area, lined with tight turns and stacked berms that will test the legs and the stoke. Riders get two cracks at laying down their fastest time... and competition is fierce. The Pro Men's and Women's categories are where things really heat up, with some of the country's (and the world's) best fighting for the top spot - and while there's a big prize pool on the line, the bragging rights might just be the biggest reward of all. This year’s event comes with a little extra magic... literally. The 2025 artwork features a Genie in a Bottle, so expect playful, wish-you-could-ride-that-again energy woven through the branding, artwork and maybe even some course surprises. You never know what might get unleashed out there. And here's the thing: you don't need to be racing to feel the hype. The Transfer Banked Slalom is just as much about the spectators. With fans lining the course, music pumping, and the snowboarding community coming together in one place, the atmosphere is electric from start to finish. There's a reason this event sells out&hellip;]]></excerpt>

The Best Turns Of The Season - Already? With mountain operations working hard to open even more lifts and terrain, guests were treated to an early taste of what promises to be an incredible weekend ahead and July school holiday period.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The countdown is ON! One of Australia’s most exciting junior snowboarding events is back for 2025 and we can't WAIT! The MOOKi’s Mini Pipe Cup, presented by 4 x World Champion and Thredbo ambassador Scotty James, is set to return to the slopes of Thredbo Resort on Saturday, 23 August 2025. This isn’t just any comp – it’s a high-energy, jam-style halfpipe showdown designed to build skills, boost confidence, and bring young riders together in a fun and inclusive environment. Built By Scotty - Made For Groms The event takes place in the MOOKi’s Mini Pipe – Australia’s only 13-foot halfpipe, made possible by Scotty’s own donation of a mini pipe cutter in 2024. Since then, it’s become a game-changing space for the next generation of Aussie shredders to learn, push themselves, and dream big. Kick Things Off With A Q&amp;A With Scotty James! The stoke starts the night before with a Q&amp;A session hosted by Scotty James himself on Friday, 22 August from 4:00 – 6:00 pm in the Kosciuszko Room. Young riders and families will have the chance to meet Scotty, ask questions, and get inspired before taking to the pipe the next day. What's Happening On The Day? The action heats up on Saturday, 23 August, kicking off with a warm welcome and T-shirt collection at 9:45 am. From there, it’s time to ride – with two jam sessions in the mini pipe separated by a BBQ lunch at the top of the course. Expect plenty of spot prizes throughout the day, from Best Trick and Highest Air to Best Handplant and even Best Crash – because in the pipe, style and stoke count just as much as skill! The event wraps up with a presentation and awards ceremony, where all participants walk away with a limited-edition T-shirt and&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <cat>Thredbo Parks</cat>
                <postedOn>May 13, 2025</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[Big news for up-and-coming Aussie athletes: Thredbo's iconic Triple Crown Series, presented by Boost Mobile, is officially levelling up. We're stoked to announce that in partnership with Snow Australia, the Slopestyle and Big Air events in this year's Triple Crown Series will be FIS-sanctioned and included in the Australian New Zealand (ANC) Series. That's right - Thredbo is once again on the world stage for freestyle ski and snowboard progression! Not only does this mark the return of park FIS events to Australia for the first time since 2022, it also gives competitors the chance to earn official FIS points across Youth, Junior and Open categories. Whether you're gunning for a podium or just racking up points on your pathway to international comps, this is your shot. Athletes will compete for a share of the $60,000 prize pool, with results contributing to both Triple Crown rankings and ANC standings. That means double the recognition and double the opportunity to launch a serious career in freestyle. Snow Australia's Sport Development Coordinator, Johnny Lipzker, summed it up perfectly: "This is a game-changing opportunity for our athletes. It enhances their ability to qualify for events like the Europa Cup and, ultimately, the Olympic Games." Our very own Sam Noller, Thredbo Event Manager, added: "We're thrilled to bring FIS-sanctioned park events back to Thredbo. It's a testament to our long-standing commitment to freestyle progression and gives athlete a high-quality, competitive platform to launch their international careers, all right here in the Aussie Alps." One major highlight? The ANC series winner (based on results from two slopestyle events and one big air event) will score a personal World Cup quote spot for the 2025/26 season. That's a direct stepping stone toward the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games. The Triple Crown Slopestyle event is going&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[That’s a wrap! Thredbo MTB Park has officially closed the curtain on another awesome summer season. But don’t worry, the trails won’t stay quiet for long. Thredbo MTB Park has announced it will reopen to riders on November 15, 2025, and next season is shaping up to be even bigger.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo MTB (@thredbomtb)  A Season to Remember “This season was another one for the books,” said Tim Windshuttle, Thredbo’s MTB Business Manager. “From watching the next generation dominate at Interschools to seeing the big names return for Cannonball MTB Festival, there’s no denying that Thredbo MTB Park is a world-class mountain biking destination.” Riders this season were treated to new favourites like Bobshred and Revolver, both quickly becoming hits thanks to their variety, and progression plus the newly introduced Flow section also delivered a smooth, fast ride from top to bottom. Going Out With a Bang The season ended with a bang... literally. Saturday’s Maxxis Chainless Champs, the final event in the Gravity Series presented by Fox, brought out serious race faces and silly costumes. With no chains allowed, racers relied on gravity, skill, and a little bit of flair to get them across the line. Afterward, riders celebrated in true Thredbo style with a huge party at The Local Pub. Sunday delivered all-time trail conditions for one last shred session, giving everyone a perfect send-off until next summer. Looking Forward Thredbo isn’t hitting the brakes anytime soon. Big developments are rolling in for the 2025–26 summer season, promising more features, more flow, and more reasons to ride. NEW trail alert: Stay tuned for more details as a new trail is coming to the Cruiser area. Ricochet Overhaul: A reimagined upper section will now launch from the top&hellip;]]></excerpt>

Thredbo once again played host to Australia's biggest and most exciting mountain biking event, drawing 750 competitors and thousands of spectators for a jam-packed week of racing, entertainment, and festival vibes. Celebrating 11 Years of Cannonball Thredbo MTB Business Manager, Tim Windshuttle, was thrilled to celebrate the 11th edition of the festival, reflecting on its continued success: "Cannonball MTB Festival continues to stand out as a premier event in the Australian mountain biking calendar.

The Ultimate Test Of Skill And Speed Set on the legendary Cannonball Downhill track, the Australian Open Downhill is the crown jewel of the festival. With high-speed sections, technical rock gardens, massive jumps, and steep chutes, this race is not for the faint-hearted.

Troy Brosnan stormed to victory in the pro men's category, showcasing his world-class skills and experience on the rugged terrain. Not far behind, Jackson Frew and Connor Fearon battled it out for the podium, securing second and third places, respectively. In the pro women's field, Sian A'Hern put in a commanding performance to take the top step, followed by Elleni Turkovic in second and Ellie Smith in third.

Caroline Buchanan, Sacha Mills, and Elleni Turkovic claimed the top three spots in the pro women's category, while Bailey Mears, Callum Crofts, and Jackson Frew dominated in the pro men's.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[New For 2024/25 Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or new to the game, there’s no denying that the New South Wales Snowy Mountains are home to some of Australia’s most jaw-dropping hikes. This is why we believe that Thredbo is the perfect home-base for anyone looking to tick some hikes off their adventure bucket list! Thredbo offers so many amazing hike experiences that allow you to level up your hike experience, with some making their debut this year! Snowies Alpine Hike Experience Introducing Thredbo’s first ever multi-day hike experience on the NSW Government’s brand new Snowies Alpine Walk. The Snowies Alpine Walk is a 55km trail that connects Thredbo to Bullocks Flat, winding through the iconic Main Range in the Kosciuszko National Park. With multi-day hikes quickly becoming popular amongst hikers of all backgrounds, Thredbo is so excited to be offering an avenue to experience a multi-day hike without compromising on comfort. Take everything you know about multi-day hikes, subtract the camping and heavy packs and add private transfers, accommodation and all meals provided. With your choice between a 44km 3-night experience or a 24km 2-night experience this new product is perfect for seasoned hikers and beginner hikers alike! Each day, guests will enjoy a buffet breakfast at Cascades before heading out to trailheads in a brand new Defender. On the trail, guests will learn from their experienced guides all about the endemic flora and fauna and enjoy a packed lunch from the Thredbo Bakery. At the end of the day, guests will head back to Thredbo in their private Defender for dinner and a cosy night at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[This winter, we are celebrating the installation of a new Avalanche Training Centre by Mountain Safety Collective. Our backcountry program has grown massively in recent years as people look beyond the boundaries to experience the mountain in new ways so we’re constantly looking for new ways to grow and keep all of our guests and backcountry enthusiasts safe. The new Avalanche Training Centre can be used by individuals looking to finesse their backcountry safety skills as well as by people who partake in our specialty tours. We will be incorporating the ATC into all of our Beginner Backcountry Tours this winter so guests will get a chance to familiarise themselves with avalanche safety equipment and transceiver search skills.]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The Torah Bright Mini Shred was a vibe with sunshine, a sweet park set-up and an all-star line-up of coaches.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) Torah Bright brought all the friends to this year's shred with a star-studded coach line up from Tess Coady, Valentino Guseli, Ben Tudhope, Josie Baff, Abi Harrigan and local riders Jye Kearney, Joey Elliss and Arkie Elliss . Thredbo Parks took the set-up to the next level, building Australia’s only mini-halfpipe, a sweet jib and jump line, transitions and rollers. There were several line options to choose from, each with a step up in progression. Skiers and boarders, boys and girls, all of different skill levels had an incredible time learning new skills from the huge line-up of Aussie snow stars! Off the slopes, live music and cheering echoed over the mountain valley while the smell of a slope-side Traeger Grills barbeque lured hungry shredders to a well-earned break. Australian-founded brand, Roxy, as well as home-grown Cooma-based Rhythm Snowsports handed out a tonne of giveaways and prizes while a huge signing session left kids decked out and beaming. It was a huge day and the mini shredders left wearing a huge smile and signatures from their favourite snow athletes!]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Thredbo legend and Australia's oldest living Olympian, Frank Prihoda, celebrated his century last night with the community partying up a storm - in their seats of course. A scene that could only reflect a man that has truly seen the highs, lows and challenges of an ever-changing world, guests arrived to Frank Prihoda’s 100th birthday party donning masks. There may not have been hugs and group photos, however the energy of the party was jubilant. Tables draped in European-style red and white check table clothes juxtaposed with decorative eucalypt centrepieces that occupied the large dining ballroom. A testament to Frank’s many walks of life, guests comprised dignitaries, family, locals and snow-stars. Taking to the stage, Ambassador of the Czech Republic, His Excellency Mr Tomas Dub, presented the "Gratias Agit" award. The Gratias Agit has been awarded by the Minister of Foreign Affairs since 1997 in appreciation of prominent persons developing activities in nongovernmental fields. Director of Snow Australia representative and fellow Olympic athlete, Mr Kim Clifford, presented the Snow Australia Medal which recognises the achievements and careers of those past and retiring athletes who represented Australia at the highest level of snow sport competition. Decorated Australian artist, Zoe Young unveiled her newest portrait of Frank ‘Gate of the Century’ produced in his honour. Often seen buying coffee or driving around the village - yes he still drives - Frank Prihoda has become part of Thredbo. The spectacular of the night concluded with a special flare run by Thredbo Snow Sports instructors and one of the biggest and best fireworks displays in Thredbo’s history before coffee, cake and Franks’ favourite Czech desserts, rakvičky, rohlicky, babovky and ovocny kolac were served.]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Did you know? That while it’s true UVB rays tend to be weaker during winter than the searing heat of summer, they can still cause sunburn... especially on the slopes. Thredbo Resort is proud to have La Roche-Posay as our official sunscreen partner. We asked them to give us some hot tips to keep you sun safe and fresh faced this winter.  View this post on Instagram  A post shared by La Roche-Posay Australia &amp; NZ (@larocheposayaunz) Score yourself some free sunscreen on the mountain! Taking to Top to Bottom, the La Roche-Posay staff will be giving out free sunscreen samples on Friday the 6th and Saturday the 7th of August - keep an eye out for their bright orange jackets and big smiles! Why is it important to be sun safe on the slopes? Snow is highly reflective. The UV rays reflect off fresh white snow in addition to standard exposure to UV radiation directly from the sun. We are also pretty high up. At higher altitudes the atmosphere is thinner, meaning less UV radiation filters and a higher chance of sun damage risk. UVA rays in particular are ever-present, meaning that if you’re concerned with ageing (and who isn’t?) a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen should remain the hero of your daily skincare routine. So, take care on your winter snow trip with these tips from La Roche-Posay: Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen and reapply every 2 hours. Don’t forget those areas such as under the chin and behind your ears. Scattered UV rays reflect from all snow-covered surfaces, so you’re exposed to UV radiation from all angles. Aim to stop for a meal or a break during the middle part of the day when the sun is at its strongest. Protect your skin and eyes as much as&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Freshies. For. Days. The "DEFENDER" storm has rolled into Thredbo with a huge storm total of 85cm and counting!  View this post on Instagram  Current situation ?❄️ Check the cams ? Link in BIO #TheDefender A post shared by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) on Jul 12, 2020 at 4:26pm PDT 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. Better yet...the snow's still coming and more terrain is opening soon - check the Resort Report for the latest updates. Bring on more of the "DEFENDER"!]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The first major snowfall of the season hit today and more is in the forecast over the next three days....yeah baby! A  great base builder for the season ahead. Countdown is on...only 30 days till the lifts start spinning.  Experts are forecasting significant falls over the next few days with news outlets describing it as “double burst of Polar chill” and “Heavy snow will fall across the Alps from Thursday to Sunday — possibly over 50cm” - wooohoo! Temperatures plummeted early today sending locals and visitors scurrying for warm winter gear, hovering around minus 1 and with winds around 50km/per hr the wind chill factor is a wintry minus 12. Thredbo is prepped and ready for winter with snowmaking is set to fire in the next couple of weeks, it is looking good for a skiing start to winter 2018.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The Toyota One Hit Wonder Mountain Festival is taking over Thredbo again from Tuesday the 5th of September through to Saturday the 9th and is set to be one huge week! This year, snowboarding has been thrown back into the mix, allowing for the world’s best to push the benchmark of what’s possible to pull off in the air. The Toyota One Hit Wonder Mountain Festival boasts the biggest jump in the Southern Hemisphere, averaging at just over 100ft, the world’s best skiers and snowboarders put their skills to the test and bodies on the line, as they battle it out for their chance at the $20k prize purse that’s up for grabs. With the winter Olympics just around the corner, athletes will be pushing the limits on this year’s jump to put them at the forefront of skiing and snowboarding progression. The competition side of the event consists of a big air session for both skiers and snowboarders followed by a newly introduced challenge, The GoPro Team Challenge. Each randomly drawn team of pro skiers and snowboarders will be handed a bag of GoPro cameras and mounts with 24 hours to session the jump to their heart’s content and upload a 60 second clip. All the clips will be published online and then it’s up to the public to vote for their favourite clip, ultimately deciding the One Hit Wonder GoPro Challenge winners. Although now in its ninth year running, snowboarders haven't officially competed in the Toyota One Hit Wonder Big Air since 2010. "In a time when competition is often criticized for producing podium runs that are barely distinguishable between one another, it's an incredible feat for Australia to now have one of the only snowboard events with a jump big enough to actually push the global benchmark&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[What happens after Blizzard of Oz? BLIZZARD OF OZ 2.0!! Yesterday we received 20cm across the resort and overnight we we're greeted with another 35cm...putting the snowfall total at 55cm so far and it ain't stopping yet! All skiers and snowboarders were showing signs of "overstoke" this morning as they eagerly awaited for the first lifts to open at the bottom of Gunbarrel chair and Kosciuszko Express. Once the clock stuck 8:30am, all you could hear throughout the valley were the hoots and hollers of everyone getting their fresh first turns of the day. The 55cm of fresh snow was best enjoyed under the Cruiser Chairlift on the 'Powder Bowl' run as well as Michaels Mistake, skiers left of the Antons T-Bar. The Supertrail offered skiers and snowboarders long wide powder turns and fast laps to make the most of all this snow. It's currently still snowing down to the village right now with another 15cm forecast to fall overnight, turning it on for a Satur-POW-Day...the best type of day. It's not all just about the Blizzard of Oz 2.0 this weekend, the après music scene vibe is going to be stronger than ever as were putting on the retro one pieces to see Australia's favourite band, Client Liaison play a set for the ages by Poolside.  The Kosciuszko Poolside Apres Party  is kicking off from 2pm Poolside at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel with Sammy Sax and DJ Salmai warming up the crowd before Client Liaison. ]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Get the wax ready, speed boards out and game faces on because this weekend the Fourth Annual Transfer Banked Slalom returns to Thredbo for what will be an epic celebration of snowboarding followed by a huge concert featuring epic duo Client Liaison fresh off the back of a sold out national tour thanks to Kosciuszko Pale Ale. No matter what type of boarder you are, from hotdogger to king of the groms, everyone is encouraged to register in the event and give it a crack this Saturday 19th. Challenge a mate or see if you’ve got what it takes to take down some of the quickest snowboarders on the planet. There are a tonne activities and events on the agenda across the entire weekend, so make sure you don’t miss out by checking out all the details below. The course This year's course draws inspiration from the mighty Bathurst 1000, where each year there is one champion who is dubbed 'King of the Mountain'... we're just switching out Mount Panorama for the slopes of Mount Kozzie. The banked turns, kinked corners and high speed straights are reminiscent of the infamous 'Dipper', 'Forrest's Elbow' and of course, the renowned 'Conrod Straight'. As fate would have it, the race will actually be taking place from the top of Conrod Straight (lookers left of Sponars T-Bar) where poll position will be thrown out the window and riders will be vying for top spot right out of the gates. Saturday 19th: All the action kicks off from 10am at the top of Conrod Straight (lookers left of Sponars T-Bar) where competitors will be able to collect their race plate alongside an Oyuki facemask and exclusive Transfer sticker sheet. Prizes: The 'King of the Mountain' will take their place on top of the podium, showered&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <cat>Festivals &amp; Events</cat>
                <postedOn>July 18, 2017</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[In Thredbo we understand the unique and fragile nature of our environment. That's why we are stoked to announce that we have partnered with Protect Our Winters (POW) to help protect and grow what we all clearly love, winter. Protect Our Winters (POW) is a passionate crew of snow enthusiasts, professional athletes and industry partners mobilising the outdoor sports community to lead the charge towards positive climate action. Thredbo is proud to be an inaugural Australian partner of POW and our goal in collaborating with POW is to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on our mountain environment and to continuously improve Thredbo’s environmental performance. We invite everyone to come and join us on Thursday the 27th of July, 6-7pm for more information on this exciting partnership and an evening of education from Jeremy Jones himself on what you can do to help protect winter. Jeremy Jones, the founder of POW, is a professional snowboarder, known for his big mountain freeriding and first descents across the globe, also a legendary environmental activist and mountaineer, nominated as National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year in 2012 for his ‘remarkable achievements in exploration, conservation, humanitarianism and adventure sports. In 2007, Jeremy found that more and more resorts he’d always counted on for good riding were closed due to a lack of snow, igniting the movement that is known as POW, a social movement against climate change for the outdoor sports industry. ]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[What an awesome day! This morning we awoke to 20cm of fresh snow and nothing but blue skies and sunshine...the perfect recipe for a fun day. Early morning conditions were great for skiing and boarding on the Supertrail, Cruiser and High Noon with plenty of packed powder for everyone to enjoy for their first few runs of the day. We decided to go checkout Waimea, which is located behind the Cruiser Chairlift and were treated to waist deep snow to enjoy. Around lunchtime the front we've all had our eyes on ever so closely made it's way over the mountain and started dumping snow! Doesn't get much better than that...fresh snow, bluebird conditions and another snowfall to finish off the day! Experts are calling for another 15cm to fall across the weekend so make sure you come up here for what will be an epic weekend of skiing, boarding, après and more! We're putting on a huge family village concert  on Saturday night featuring La Fiesta, our favourite party band that is sure to get the whole family moving and shaking. On Sunday, the Torah Bright Mini Shred is going down and is set to be one day not to miss...if your under 18 and keen to learn some new tricks and make some new friends make sure to register here and come check it out. Checkout the video and gallery from today...]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Winter 2017 is set to kick off with a bang this weekend. Thanks to natural snowfall and some solid snowmaking conditions we will be sliding on Saturday, the official opening day for Thredbo Resort. On top of that Thredbo Parks is stoked to announce that we will have a Terrain Park on offer... a beginner box line and an intermediate tube line. What a treat... Terrain Park action on day one of the season! Reuben Cameron the Terrain Park Manager returns to Thredbo and is getting the band back together. Matthew Galina the Day Crew Supervisor is his leading hand and go to guy on the ground. The dynamic duo are heading into their 4th winter together for Thredbo Parks and the program will continue to prosper under their ever watchful eye. Many of the merry minions that make up the Day Crew are returning but keep an eye out for a few fresh faces in the mix. They will be raking their hearts out to ensure silky smooth take offs on all features. Don't be afraid to say g'day and if you need some advice or tips... hit em up! Remember respect gets respect on the slopes and in the parks. Have fun and rip it up but look after yourselves and each other. To stay up to date with Thredbo Parks developments and to check out cool content, follow us on Facebook and Instagram. See you on the mountain!]]></excerpt>

The expansion of our trail network continues, putting Thredbo at the forefront of Gravity Bike Parks in Australia. Thredbo MTB events have also soared to great heights this season boasting the biggest gravity inspired events in the country. Trails Thredbo Resort in cooperation with trail building company Dirtart have unveiled Stage 1 of the Thredbo All Mountain Trail. Received well by riders this trail brought a new genre of mountain biker into the resort. The All-terrain/enduro rider could now experience top to bottom single track on a short travel bike.  The section between Antons T-Bar and the Gunbarrell Chairlift top station was also completed later on in the season and is regarded as one of the best pieces of trail in Australia.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The future is bright for Australian mountain biking with a record field of riders lining up for the 20th annual Australian Interschools Mountain Bike Championships in Thredbo across the weekend. With a mountain of excited school kids, five huge events and a big crowd of family and friends, the stage was set for an epic display of young gun racing. The championships are open to school aged kids from around the country, it is all about participation and this year there was a record breaking 470 riders representing 74 schools across four age divisions riding in three point scoring competitions plus two fun exhibition events. Downhill, Cross-Country and Flow riding all accumulated points for their school and the fast and flowing Pump Track Challenge and a Sprint Relay drew good numbers and big crowds. Thredbo turned on perfect autumn weather with early fog and a sprinkle of overnight rain settling the dust on the gravity trails. The Flow Motion race saw around 350 riders and had a solid field in all divisions. “The Flow Motion Race on Friday was new to the Interschools schedule, it gave competitors a chance to race a gravity trail without the technical features of a pure downhill track. It was unbelievable to see riders as young as eight giving the Flow race a go” said Danny Taliana – Thredbo MTB Operations Manager. Downhill day saw the track a little tacky to start but quickly become loose and dusty.  As this event encourages participation, riders had the choice to take on the more technical Cannonball Downhill or a modified b-line option.  Fastest on the day was Knox Grammar’s Chris Pulsar setting the course alight with a 5:00 run. Local Snowy Mountains Grammar School rider Mackenzie Diver set the quickest pace in the female division. The Pump&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Thredbo is celebrating its 60th anniversary this upcoming winter and can’t wait to get the massive season underway with another winter of huge celebrations, events and activities planned for everyone to enjoy. 1957 marked the first year that the chairlifts started turning in Thredbo, thanks to the vision and passion from a couple of keen skiers named Tony Sponar and Charles Anton. They both saw Thredbo as the perfect location for a ski resort due to its variety of good vertical terrain and potential buzzing ski village atmosphere. Fast forward 60 years and Thredbo is still Australia’s premier winter holiday destination offering its guests an amazing experience both on and off the mountain. We recently caught up with Frank Prihoda, Australia’s oldest living Olympian and Thredbo resident. At 95, Frank has seen Thredbo over the past 60 years grow into the world class ski resort it is today. A few years after the end of WWI, Frank was born in Czechoslovakia in 1921. In 1948, Frank emigrated to Australia where he started one of the first ski-lodge businesses in Thredbo. Frank also competed for Australia in the Winter Olympic Games as an alpine downhill skier in 1956. Frank is full of wisdom and knowledge and happily shares some of his fondest moments that have become frozen in time. Sharing a true love and strong spiritual connection to Thredbo and the mountain, that so many of Thredbo’s guests do…this is is Franks perspective of Thredbo during its early years.  Thredbo is planning some special events so stay tuned and come and celebrate 60 years of stoke! Here are some other fun things Thredbo have planned to celebrate the occasion…. Ring the bell… In honour of its 60th year Thredbo will be installing a commemorative ‘2037’ bell at the top of&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Thredbo Walks &amp; Hikes are a great way to get outdoors and experience the beauty and serenity of alpine Australia. Thredbo's Kosciuszko chairlift, that runs 365 days a year provides the perfect access point to a handful of different trails to walk and hike beyond the boundaries of the resort. It doesn't matter if you're a slow pace kind of walker or looking for that 20km challenge, there is a trail to suit every type of person out there...so no excuses to get outdoors and enjoy walking amongst nature. Thredbo Walks &amp; Hikes guide Alexis Sirman recently took on the famous Alpine Lakes Walk and provided us with a descriptive rundown of her day and what she and her group encountered. Have a read below to get an idea of the areas you will see and book in to take on the walk yourself with one of our experienced guides. Here's a little sneak peak of what it's like hiking on top of Australian ? #mythredbo A video posted by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) on Dec 7, 2016 at 1:45pm PST 8:50am | Meeting time!  I always get so excited when I get to meet my guests with whom I’ll be sharing my favourite way to spend a day…. hiking through the Main Range of Australia.  Today we’re doing the Alpine Lakes Walk, 19 km through the mountains, glacial lakes, views of the Western faces and wild flowers galore!  This is one of my favourite walks because it takes people through landscapes that exist nowhere else in Australia.  It’s the perfect combination of beauty and challenge, plus you get a glass of champagne at the end! 11am | Rawson pass.  We’re about to leave the crowds and the metal grate behind and get into some real mountain trekking.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[By Caroline Brauer Downhill MTB riding. The sound of those three words used to send me into a sweat, and not the type you get from exercise. Instead, from sheer terror. That’s until last Sunday, when I took myself off to Thredbo’s Gravity Girls downhill riding clinic. And now I’m hooked. With a splattering of bike skills up my sleeve, enough to have ridden the Thredbo Valley Track (TVT), I started my day at Gravity Girls worried that my skills just wouldn’t cut it. So I put my hand up for the Beginners’ category, along with about 8 other Gravity Girls. Starting out on the old tennis courts, Sam our (very patient) instructor explained the basics of downhill riding, focusing on body position. We practiced the ‘perfect’ body position on the flats of the old tennis court before moving on to the Beginner Skills Course where we honed our newly-learnt skills through the berms and switchbacks. I think Sam was impressed that we were all able to carry the ‘perfect’ body position into the berms and switchbacks, and we’d all gained enough confidence to try the more difficult sections of the Beginner Skills Course. Feeling confident after Sam’s very thorough introduction to the basics of downhill riding, a couple of us from the Beginners’ group decided to join up with the Intermediate Gravity Girls, who’d already headed up Kosciuszko Express chairlift to take on the Kosciuszko Flow Trail. After meeting up with the Intermediate crew part way down, and meeting the instructor Louise, we took time to session the more challenging sections with Louise showing us the best line, and giving us tips about body position. Louise showed us how to pump the rollers on the traversing sections, as well as how to take on the switchbacks more gracefully. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNk0l58Bjbh/?tagged=gravitygirls&hl=en&hellip;]]></excerpt>

With some of the world's best riders in attendance, live non-stop entertainment and tons of action, it set the stage for the biggest, raddest and best mountain biking event in Australia. @troybrosnan flying in to take out the Men's Pro Downhill at #cannonballfestival 2016 in #thredbo A video posted by Michael Lendrum (@michaellendrum) on Dec 11, 2016 at 1:46pm PST Friday was the first day of competition and it was non-stop  action with the competitors getting up at the crack of dawn for first lifts to get in practice laps in order to familiarise themselves with the Thredbo Mountain Bike Park trails for the weekend. The Canyon All Mountain Assault was the first event to kick off the festival and competitors did not hold back one bit! Kids, teens, women and men all put in 100% for the first event, flying down the 7km long track at high speeds, navigating their way through tight trees, loose rocks and a mix of berms and turns all the way to the finish line. In the end it was Claire Whiteman who came out on top taking out the Pro Women’s division and Benjamin Forbes winning the Pro Men’s, showing off his technical skill and speed on the All-Mountain trail. The RockShox Pump Track Challenge went down on the Village Green on Friday evening under the lights, setting an amazing stage for all the competitors and spectators.

With biggest field of competitors yet, riders eagerly got out on the mountain early at 9am to get practice laps underway before the kick off of the event at 11:30. The Flow and Downhill trails we’re jam packed with novices, amateurs and pro’s all giving it their best at figuring out the fastest line to take in order to shave crucial seconds off their time. With cloudless skies and warming temps throughout the day the Maxxis Flow Motion Cup got underway. The women hit the Flow trail first and took the definition of speed and control to a whole new level with local Tegan Molloy showing the boys a thing or two about riding the technical Flow trail. The men’s race was a wide open field and a definite winner was hard to pick from with everyone flying through the course it was hard to tell who was who. High speed also means high consequence and there sure were a handful of some of the biggest bail’s we’ve seen so far this mountain biking season. Coming out on top in the end was Josh Carlson In the Pro mens category and Tegan Molloy in the Pro Womens. The afternoon continued on with the crowd favourite event, the Sram Whip Wars, taking place on the bottom kicker of the Downhill trail. With DJ’s blasting tunes and a hill filled with the biggest crowd we’ve seen to date, the competitors knew they sure had to put on a spectacle in order to get both the judges and crowds pumped to take out this event.&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Build the trails and they will come! And that is exactly what they did, in record numbers, for the opening of the Thredbo Mountain Bike Park over the weekend.   Friday night, bike laden cars snaked their way up the Alpine Way, the forecast was full of sunshine and anticipation was high. Chatter in Pub was a lot like winter on a powder day, who is lining up for first lifts? Come Saturday morning and we were ready to roll – an hour before lifts opened, riders were lining up at the access gates and those who weren’t, were pushing up the hill to ride the fresh lines into the finish arena.  The lift spun and bikes were loading, the line meandered around the chair shed with pumped riders talking amongst themselves about bikes, parts, places they have been and the day ahead – everyone was eager to hit the slopes.  [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://www.thredbo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/IMG_1287.mp4"][/video] Over 350 riders ripped into a mountain of freshly built trails on opening day – what was great to see was the great mix of ages and abilities, full and open face helmets, downhill and all-mountain bikes, Thredbo had swung open the doors to everyone.  The Thredbo trail crew had a hectic lead in turning the mountain from winter to summer in a matter of weeks but they rewarded riders with stand-out opening conditions. Both long-time Thredbo riders and those here for the first time were enjoying the opening day vibe.  Australian pro-rider Thomas Crimmins was one of the first on the mountain.  “It’s probably the most fun I’ve had at Thredbo. All of the work the Thredbo trails crew and Dirt Art have done is amazing, and can’t believe how many riders are here. It’s by far the best&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The 16th annual Snowy Ride revved up Thredbo and the Snowy Mountains over the weekend to raise funds and awareness for research into a cure for childhood cancer. Over 2,300 riders all ages, on bikes of all sizes, from all parts of the country tripped around the 400km Snowies circuit visiting Adaminaby, Dalgety, Berridale, Jindabyne, Cooma, Bombala, Charlotte Pass and Thredbo. They enjoyed the crisp pristine bluebird conditions on Saturday as they took to the long open winding roads of the Snowy Mountains. On arrival all motorcyclists were greeted by a massive crowd of local supporters and event volunteers who put on a massive BBQ and live music set from an All-Aussie band that rocked the Village Square. Checkout the below photo of the Village Square…have you ever seen it so jam-packed before? We couldn’t believe it! With the large number of riders and other fundraising efforts this year's ride saw $250,000 raised, Sue Walter who heads up the Steven Walter Children's Cancer Foundation was overwhelmed by the generosity of the riders “It’s astonishing to believe that it has been 23 years since Steven was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma and what a journey it has been - he would be so proud of what is being achieved in his memory sixteen years later". The annual Snowy Hydro Family Program saw 24 children, who are enduring treatment for cancer and their families were treated to an array of fun activities giving them a break from their hospital routines. The weekend included motorbike riders, face painting, games, a flight in the Australian Navy Helicopter and a massive fireworks display, that we are sure lit up the entire Snowy Mountains. The weekend was huge success in so many ways, but all helping to "Meet the Challenge" of 100% survival for all children diagnosed&hellip;]]></excerpt>

We caught up with Thredbo MTB Operations Manager, Daniel Taliana and Thredbo MTB Supervisor, Tim Windshuttle to talk about all things new and exciting for Thredbo MTB this season.  These are the guys who hope for the snow to melt not accumulate and have their eyes peeled for new dirt trails and rocks not open wide powder bowls. What’s in stall for Thredbo MTB this summer? Anything new and exciting? Preparation is going well for this season. We are super excited about the highly anticipated opening of the complete Thredbo All-Mountain Trail. It’s an unbelievable trail designed specifically for the new generation of all terrain mountain bikes…I can’t wait! Rider Progression is high on the agenda here at the Thredbo Bike Park. For this reason we will be providing our guests with more comprehensive skills parks, catering for beginner through to advanced riders. Every year we take a close look at all of our trails to see what can be improved and ensure our customers receive a second to none riding experience. Trail maintenance and creativeness will reach new levels this year with a welcomed expansion and a more knowledgeable trail crew. Wow! Tell us more about the new trail?

From massive snowfalls to powder hungry brumbies, huge events to non-stop parties and everything in between, let’s take a look back at the top 10 moments.   Opening Weekend Everyone loves Opening Weekend, it’s the official start of winter and no matter the snow conditions excitement is always in the alpine air.  This year was no different with one of the largest firework displays in the region lighting up the alpine night sky before Yolanda Be Cool and Art Vs Science set the bar for winter entertainment. The traditional long lunch was a standout with around 150 wining and dining in the crisp outdoors under a sunny mountain sky. The kids were well looked after with a huge line-up of adventures and entertainment across the  weekend. [gallery_slider ids=”84828,84832,84876”] Powdermonium, Snowmageden… This winter had it all. After a relatively slow start, the end of June saw one of the heaviest snowfalls in years dumping a massive 70cm+ in 24hrs. The resort was blanketed in a fresh layer of snow just in time for School Holidays with the majority of the mountain opening shortly after. Cold nights for snowmaking followed before another snow laden storm mid-July dropped over 50cm.  There were plenty of top-ups throughout giving us a cumulative snowfall total of 423cm, one of the highest in the past five years.  Experts are forecasting this weekend’s snowfall to add up to 50cm’s to that depth, what a way to wrap up the season!  [gallery_slider ids=”84872,84866,84858,84856,84854,84848,84846,84844”] Stacked schedule of events all season. Thredbo is synonymous with good times and an unrivalled apres entertainment and this year it escalated, with a huge line up both on and off the mountain.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Thredbo Ambassador and Aussie snowboarding legend Jye Kearney first strapped into a snowboard on Friday Flat when he was 10 years old. Although born on the sunny Gold Coast, Jye’s love of snowboarding developed when his family moved to Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains. From his first day on snow at Thredbo, Jye’s talent quickly developed, and by 13 he was already riding for Burton Snowboards. Come his mid to late teens and Jye was landing magazine covers, travelling winter to winter across the globe and doing something that most kids dream of – making a career out of snowboarding. Transfer's 2nd issue just dropped today and is in stores now so go grab a copy. Stoked I got the cover in Central Park in New York City it was a crazy trip out there in the big smoke many Thanks @transfersnow @baanjo @burtonaustralianz @arnetteaus for the opportunity and support.

Burtons Brand manager, Paul Colby recalls Jye as having straight up talent right from the start, capable of tackling all terrain whether that be in the park, on the street, in the backcountry or hitting big jumps. He is now one of the only southern hemisphere snowboarders to make a debut in an internationally recognised snowboard film, travelling through Finland, Sweden, Japan and Canada filming a segment for Method Magazine’s first snowboard movie during the 15/16 Northern Hemisphere season.  #tightlines2016 link in bio #votehorse A video posted by (@jyekearney) on Sep 5, 2016 at 12:49pm PDT With Jye coming on board as an ambassador this year, we only saw it fitting to provide him access&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Out on the mountain on Friday morning it was obvious that the original Thredbo snowboard crew was back in town for the 30 years of snowboarding event. This group of guys and girls started riding here in 1982 with guidance from Adrian Gibbs and Geoff Sawyer who were at the forefront of the Australian Snowboarding scene. The bright fluorescent outerwear and yells from the crew on Friday morning whilst they flew down the Supertrail was enough indication that this was going to be one weekend not to miss! It’s not every day you get to ride side by side and celebrate the rich Australian Snowboarding culture with the first people to ever snowboard in Australia. Friday night was the 30 years of Snowboarding exhibition which provided an in-depth look at the history of Australian Snowboarding through a rare collection of vintage snowboards, archived images, competition bibs, trophies, memorabilia and guest speakers Geoff Sawyer and Adrian Gibbs.  Once the floor was filled with more than a few familiar faces the banter begun, the beers were shared and the young conversed with the old over classic stories that highlighted the history of Australian Snowboarding. On Saturday, all competitors awoke to a bright shining sun and the perfect spring shredding conditions…bring it on! The mountain braced itself as over 300 like-minded shredders took to Antons Terrain Park for a day jam-packed with ripping, shredding and tearing. The Rad Gloves Sausage Fest kicked off the day with a BBQ and park shred put on for all boarders. There were some of the best snowboarders in the world in attendance putting on a jaw dropping show for all to enjoy. The Hand Dug Halfpipe session kicked off around midday and was an amazing site to see as the new age kids blew the original&hellip;]]></excerpt>

Toyota One Hit Wonder Big Air | Event Recap from One Hit Wonder Event on Vimeo. It was 17 year old US National Freeski Team member Alex Hall who took home the top spot of the AFP Gold Event with his world first Switch Triple Corked 1800. Not to be outdone, Norwegian teen sensation Birk Rudd came in a close 2nd with another World first Switch Corked 1620 which has never been seen in competition before. The podium was rounded out by the current 2016 X-Game Gold medalist, Swiss skier Fabian Bösch who landed a clean Triple Corked 1620 of his own. The 18 deep starting field were split into two heats under perfect spring conditions, where the top five of each heat progressed into the final. Accompanied by Swiss Skier Jonas Hunziker and Norway’s Klaus Finne, who after sitting on the bubble were given final wildcard spots; the 12 finalists battled out to a best of two run conclusion in the snow gum surrounded New South Wales High Country. Australia’s own Ryley Lucas was the only Aussie in the all-international final and wrapped up 12th place only just having come from wrist surgery only days before the event. After taking top honors in the first round heat, Canadian Noah Morrison was faced with trying to land his double corked 1080 with only one ski as his bindings released on takeoff. Showing true skill, he was able to set down the 37-degree landing slope without too much strain as the 500 strong crowd watched on in awe. Returning athlete Evan McEachran from Canada, who finished 10th; stated “it's the biggest jump on the tour and it's run by people who know how to create an atmosphere where progression happens.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Big Air Flare The final stop on the Thredbo Snow Series train was the Big Air on the Q5 jump in Antons Park. As the final event, overall winners in the series would be crowned increasing the potential pay off for the competitors. Blue skies and no wind ensured the stage was set for the riders to rip. Tucked away in the natural amphitheater of the Q5 bowl, the surrounding slopes were lined with eager spectators ready for a show. The jump is approximately 50 foot to the knuckle with a long steep landing meaning the guys and girls could really send it. A smaller jump was pushed up beside it for the groms so all abilities were covered. Open division riders had 3 jumps with the other divisions having 2... best jump counted allowing the riders to really go for it. After warm ups and some serious slush maintenance from the Thredbo Parks crew it was game on. The level of riding throughout the Snow Series has increased through the roof and the Big Air was no exception. The Japanese shredders returned and a surprise entry from Markus Kleveland raised eyebrows and inevitably the standard of riding. The tricks were technical and the snow stunts stylish. An amazing amount of doubles went down from the skiers and boarders giving the judges plenty to think about. After careful deliberation winners were announced, prizes received and high fives exchanged on the podium. Full wrap up of the entire Thredbo Snow Series coming soon. Open Men Ski Winner: Jamie Melton Junior Men Ski Winner: Cade Robinson Groms Men Ski Winner: Oskar Shulz Groms Women Ski Winner: Abi Harigan Open Men Snowboard Winner: Marcus Kleveland Junior Men Snowboard Winner: James Findlay Groms Men Snowboard Winner: Alex Brookes Open Women Snowboard Winner: Yuka Fujimora Junior Women Snowboard Winner:&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[1. Golf Course Bowl This is my number one place to hit when Ullr blesses Thredbo with a fresh blanket of snow. Golf Course is tucked away on the very far skiers right of the resort. To get the most out of your run, head up the Basin T-Bar, then over and up to the top of Karels. From here, traverse far right and follow the signs to Golf Course. There are a multitude of lines down this zone, with the top perfect for wide open turns and the bottom ripe with fun little wind lips, tree skiing and rock drops. This area can keep me occupied all day! 2. Bush Ranger You will find this sneaky little tree run just off the side of the Village Trail. Head up Kozi Chair then take the skiers left, down towards Black Sallees Restaurant. Duck under the top station of Snowgum chair and into the trees on your left. There are a million ways to make your way down, but for me the best route is that with the least tracks. Whichever way you do decide, you can’t go wrong and will eventually hit the Village Trail at the bottom.  3. The Bluff The Bluff, located to the skiers right of Kozi chair, boasts some of Thredbo’s steeper terrain. The rocks at the top are prime for dropping off when there’s a soft landing and if you head further skiers right, there’s often a wind lip feature formed, which is fun for slashing and/ or launching! This area is best when there’s good visibility, but on a stormy pow day, those with the tenacity to ride in a white out will probably get fresh tracks.]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[It was a windy start to the week but by Thursday it was full steam ahead for the Thredbo Snow Series, with the Slopestyle event going down in Antons Park. Competitors were greeted with blue skies and little to no wind, with everyone eager to put on a show for the judges. Shredders of all ages turned up to throw down, the Japanese Burton team were particularly impressive stomping an array of technical tricks, with Victor White from Barbados wowing the crowd by stomping a right side nine. The judges had their work cut out for them but after careful consideration the winners were ranked. In the men’s ski, Victor White took out the open category, while Cade Robinson claimed the junior title and Taiyo Kawai the groms. Over to the women’s ski and Kat Alexander claimed first in the opens, with Abi Harrigan winning in the groms. Men’s snowboard saw Yutaro Miyazawa take out the opens, Kaito Hamada in juniors and Leo Nakaizumi in the groms, with women’s snowboard seeing  Yuka Fujimori placing first in opens, Indira Shinn Rees first in the juniors and Stephanie Peterson number one in the groms. The SKYY Vodka Full Moon party then kicked off Thursday night at the Heller keller Bar, with Cloudmountaintops, Rhyme and Slippery Trout DJs spinning tunes from 9 PM. Rolling into the  weekend and winter was back! We woke up to 15cm-20cm of fresh pow Saturday morning, with continuing snowfall throughout the day. There were plenty of fresh tracks to be found and we saw some of the best mogul skiers from around NSW battle it out a top spot in the new NSW Mogul Series.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[How's your Slopestyle? Full steam ahead for the Thredbo Snow Series with the Slopestyle event going down in Antons Park. Competitors were greeted by blue skies but there was a little wind to contend with. It was a tail wind so undeterred the eager shredders put on a show for judges and spectators alike. Especially for the event the Antons Park set up was tweaked to cater for the diverse range of abilities attending. The first feature was a jump with two take off options... 20 foot and 30 foot long. Feature number two was another jump with dual take offs... 25 foot and 35 foot. After the jumps the riders had two jib pads each with three options. Jib pad one had a flat hero box, a flat bar rail and an A frame tube to choose from. The second jib pad offered a choice of a flat down box, a street style down tube and a rainbow tube. Plenty of variety allowing creativity and the opportunity to impress the ever watchful judges. Practice started ahead of schedule allowing extra time to dial in the features and put together a potential winning run. After some quick course maintenance from the Thredbo Parks crew the riders got down to business. With two judged runs and the best being counted, competition tactics is crucial. The Thredbo and Aussie locals represented throwing down. Several surprise international guests spiced things up, pushing the level of riding through the roof. The Japanese Burton team were particularly impressive stomping an array smooth and technical tricks. Victor White representing Barbados was a crowd favourite wowing the assembled masses bolting down a right side nine among other stylish snow stunts. The judges had their work cut out for them.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[It is near impossible to condense the intriguing story of Tommy Tomasi into 3-minutes. Here is a snap shot of Tommy's incredible life, how he came to Thredbo and the impact he has had… At 90 years of age, Tommy has lived a full and enthralling life. He was born in 1926 and grew up in the mountains of Northern Italy, where, by the age of 4 he had already developed a love of skiing. Things changed in 1943 for Tommy, when war arrived upon his doorstep. Only 17 at the time, he had one of two options ­– either join the forces of Hitler and Mussolini or head into the mountains and fight alongside the Italian partisans. Not favouring the fascists, Tommy’s Father handed him a gun and pointed him towards the hills.   After blowing up a bridge while trying to stop a German convoy, Tommy snuck home to visit his parents. It was here where a local fascist boy spotted him, and he was taken by The Gestapo to Germany and placed into a concentration camp. After nine months, Tommy was able to escape the camp during the chaos that unfolded following an American artillery attack from the air. He, and three others covered themselves under fallen tree branches in a nearby forest and waited, where the Americans eventually found them. After months of starvation and unimaginable conditions, a frail Tommy weighed in at just 32kgs. He was taken to a small village, where the Americans helped him to recuperate. To thank them, Tommy offered his services as an interpreter and joined the American forces to look for ex-Gestapo.   When the war ended Tommy returned home to his parents in Italy where he tried to find work and continued to ski. Being a partisan during&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The Transfer Banked Slalom aka ‘Tournament of Turns’ went down this past weekend and was action packed with high speed turns, critical berms and minimal concern. All snowboarders were greeted to icy course conditions on the Saturday and the outstanding Terrain Park Crew decided to call it a weather day and run the event on the Sunday. Although there were a few disappointed faces, all snowboarders joined forces for an amazing day ripping around the resort especially in the Cruiser and Antons terrain parks. All competitors on Sunday were greeted with perfect 4ft high peeling walls, light offshore winds and a sky as blue as blue can ever get….Transfer Banked Slalom 2016 was officially ON! There was a mix of every type of snowboarder competing in the event from five year old grommies to some of the first ever professional snowboarders from Australia, even some of the world’s best snowboarders from the Northern Hemisphere made the long flight over to compete and hang out. The course consisted of a critical toilet bowl top turn tunnel section which spat you out into a kilometre long banked slalom track consisting of high speed walls, gaps and the iconic and scary section…Gallina’s Gully. Austin Sweeten who is definitely one of the best snowboarders in the globe right now gave the word ‘board control’ a whole new meaning taking out first place with a warp speed time of 1:20:71. FIS World Champion Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin was hot on Austin’s tail just missing out on the Gold with a 1:20:72 and right behind Chumpy in third place was last year’s winner Mathieu Crepel who channeld his high speed surf turns to the glassy ice walls in Gallina’s Gully.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[As we come to the end of another great week, we look back on the main events that went down both on and off the mountain. The Australian FIS Championships kicked off on Monday, with some of Australia’s best racers showing up to compete in the GS and Slalom races being held throughout the week. Saturday came around quickly and before we knew it, it was time for the 3rd Annual Transfer Banked Slalom…. but the weather wasn’t playing ball and unfortunately due to low visibility, high winds and a rather icy course, the wise decision was made to postpone the event until Sunday. Nevertheless, there was still plenty to look forward to, with free live music across the resort thanks to Coke and The Corona Concert Series where The Paper hearts, Lime Cordiale and Jungle Giants provided some great entertainment in the Village Square to keep the party going through until Sunday. Luckily with improvements in the weather the Banked Slalom was able to go ahead, with over 200 snowboarders competing for the title. There were riders dressed in all sorts of crazy attire, with boarders pushing it to the limit on the custom made course. The fun was endless, with big stacks, big smiles and big turns. As we set our sights to next week we are in for a mostly sunny start with some flurries expected later on but with plenty happening both on and off the mountain and great conditions top to bottom there is no better time to get down here.]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Thredbo Resort, with thanks to Burton Snowboards, hosted a new kind of rail contest, Jye’s Jam. It’s not every day that a ski resort lets you take over for a night and run an urban rail comp, so we had a good feeling about this one. The First Annual Jye's Jam from Marcus Skin on Vimeo. First up, you probably want to know who Jye is and why he got a jam named after him. Jye “Pie Man” Kearney has been involved in the snowboarding scene for the past twelve years. He’s won and defended many titles at famous Southern Hemisphere rail events, like Stylewars and Cattleman’s; he’s filmed international video parts with Method and Burton; and he’s certainly no stranger when it comes to sliding some steel. Jye recently teamed up with Thredbo Resort as an ambassador and finally scored the chance to run an event on the Friday Flat staircase–something that he and every other Australian snowboarder have walked up and dreamt of one day getting the chance to hit. Ten of the best riders in the Southern Hemisphere were handpicked by Jye himself to compete in a two-hour jam session. The concept was for all riders to leave their competitive hunger at home and instead push and hype each other to go bigger and better. Ain’t nothing better than moral support from the homies. Once the lifts stopped running for the day and the resort went to sleep, we fired up the floodlights, pumped up the jam and got things underway for the first official Jye’s Jam. All riders spent the first fifteen minutes sussing out the rail, speed, and landing to make sure they weren’t heading to the hospital after their first hit. Then out of nowhere, Jye Kearnery threw a huge gap frontside 270…it was officially&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[What a weekend and what a race! We kicked of G.H Mumm’s Race week at Kareela Hutte on Friday afternoon, with the Mumm Après ‘Party on the Slopes’. It was the prefect way to warm up before poolside après heated up at 4pm, with tunes from Bag Raiders (DJ Set) and plenty of G.H Mumm Champagne setting the mood for the rest of the weekend! As we woke up to a beautiful sunrise on Saturday morning, racers were heading up to the top of Eagles Nest ready for the iconic Thredbo Top to Bottom race. Over 250 competitors clicked into their bindings and strapped onto their boards ready to battle it out down the Supertrail for bragging rights and over $20k worth of cash and prizes. Thanks to some freezing temperatures and continuous nights of snowmaking during the week, the course was hard and fast with numerous racers clocking well over 100km/h down parts of the course.  Open Men’s ski was the main event, with some incredible racing. Harry Laidlaw took the lead early, holding it right to the bottom, followed by Frey Thomas in 2nd with Olympian Scott Kneller in 3rd . In the Open Men’s snowboard Ben Alexis swept the field for the third year in a row, with Laura Stamp taking out the women’s snowboard. Zali Offord took out Women’s ski in a dominant display of power and skill, with Alex Podgorski claiming 1st place in the amateur men’s ski category, and James Kilmartin taking the title for Veteran Men’s ski. The atmosphere at the bottom was electric, with plenty of bubbles and spectator support on offer. The fun continued once presentations wrapped up with Kareela Hutte Après sessions that afternoon, followed up by Bag Raiders and G.H.Mumm Champagne bringing poolside to life with an electrifying&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The second of the My Thredbo series features Joey and Arkie Elliss. Thredbo has been the playground where these two dynamic siblings have been lucky enough to grow up, and like many kids who have been raised here, Arkie and Joey’s huge appreciation and energy for the outdoors shines through in their personalities. There’s something special about being raised in such a tight knit, mountain community – everyone has the same motivations and they make sure to look out for one another. This is what makes Thredbo such a special place for kids and their friends to get outside, learn and explore.  Joey (10) and Arkie (12) both started skiing when they were 3, after their parents Amanda and Reggae Elliss moved here permanently in 2007, following numerous seasons between Thredbo and Manly, where they would run their business here in winter. “The best thing we ever did (was move to Thredbo) as I can’t imagine a better environment for kids to grow up in – there’s so much to do. The skiing in winter is obvious, but in summer they have freedom to roam about with their friends…mountain biking, the skate park, the pool or just exploring the mountain and bush. They just walk out the door and go.” - Reggae   Like many local kids, Joey and Arkie started skiing at Thredboland on Sundays, progressing up through the development squads at Thredbo Snowsports. Whenever they could, Amanda and Reggae, being strong skiers themselves, would take Arkie and Joey out alongside them to explore the mountain together, there’s no wonder that by the age of 10 and 12 they have already become such confident skiers, capable of tackling all types of snow and terrain.   It’s neat to be to be able to watch such young kids&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Conditions just keep on getting better. Consecutive cold fronts over the last five days have resulted in 85cm of fresh, dry snow across the resort.  Freezing temperatures as well as strong winds have given us some beautifully light and dry snow, top to bottom on Australia’s longest runs.  “It’s as if we are skiing some of Japan’s finest, I just can’t get over the quality of the snow!” Reggae Elliss, MountainWatch. 100% of the resort is open with something to be found for every level and ability, from first-timers to seasoned professionals. Off-piste was the pick with wind-blown areas like The Bluff, Michael’s Mistake and Golf Course the go to for the more advanced. Intermediate riders had a great mix of fresh and groomed runs to choose from around the Cruiser Area while the beginners down on Friday Flat were grateful for the soft snow to learn the basics on. We couldn’t be in a better position coming into August with a solid base, a stacked schedule of events and activities including the Mumm Top to Bottom and Transfer Banked Slalom plus more snow incoming next week!

The Transfer Banked Slalom is back again for 2016 and is going to be a day not to miss, filled with thrills, spills and chills. This event aims to embody the very essence of snowboarding. Back in 1985, Mt. Baker Washington held the first ever Banked Slalom and it has been an iconic snowboarding tradition every year since. I Feel the need… the need for speed! This is the one event those guys over at the establishment will never be able to get their hands on, so leave the competitive hunger at home and replace it with an 80’s inspired après outfit and a big smile! The legendary #transferbankedslalom run and done, killer day with the biggest bunch of legends. Ever. Thanks to everyone for making a good time happen ? #transfersnow #tournamentofturns A photo posted by Robbie Warden (@robbiewarden) on Aug 15, 2015 at 3:02am PDT The course consists of berms, turns, jumps and bumps that every rider must manoeuvre down in order to cross the finish line. Gallina’s Gully is going to be your biggest enemy on the day due to the high steep walls and close out sections. If there is one tip we can offer you in order to get yourself across the finish line with a chance…wax that board. Another look at the #transferbankedslalom #Repost @olliepop_films with @repostapp. ・・・ Rider on course! The 2nd Annual @thredboresort @transfersnow Banked Slalom went down today.. We got barrels, slashed the white walls and ducked our way through rainbow tunnels. It was an awesome day full of good times on one of the best days of this season to date. #thredboparks #thredboresort&hellip;]]></excerpt>

Keller Bar was first up with some of Aussie’s best DJ’s, Young Franco and Yahtzel putting on a night to remember, following it up on Wednesday with a surprise performance where they joined DJ P-Ranch on stage again at the Keller Bar. On Monday and Wednesday night we saw groups of mates strapping into giant Zorb balls ready to roll down Friday Flat, then on Thursday we finished off the fun with Young Franco and Hayden James playing at the Poolside Après Party from the early afternoon onwards. Now, lets talk about Friday. There’s no denying that it rained…a lot. Rivers started to rise, and so did everyone’s concern for the amount of water that was falling and subsequently damaging the snow cover. By the early evening over 100mil of rain was recorded and things were looking grim…but hey, who doesn’t love a come back, and what a come back it was! We got snow! The temperature finally dropped early Saturday morning and the rain turned into precious flakes. We woke up on Saturday morning with 10cm, and cold temps perfect for snowmaking. Oakley Prizm festivities kicked off with the Prizm demo tent on Friday flat and a Q&amp;A with the Oakley athletes, including Olympians Sage Kotsenburg and Scotty James. Snow flurries continued throughout the day, and the blues of Friday turned into a faint memory as we skied the day away on the fresh snow and gathered at poolside ready for Client Liaison to serenade us into the night, thanks to Oakley. The snow started to fall hard as Client Liaison hit the stage, and poolside was packed with a quality crowd, hot ciders in hand, boogying down to the animated beats provided by Monty, Harvey and&hellip;]]></excerpt>

On top of this with groms, juniors and open divisions, frothy young shredders get to rub shoulders with some of Australia's best. First event on the Snow Series schedule was the Friday Flat Rail Jam. Funny story, we ended up holding it on the Snow Play area. It was early in the season with great conditions and most of the mountain open. However to produce a fun trick-able course for a diverse range of abilities is quite the challenge. Thredbo Parks has to get greedy... we need prime real estate and plenty of raw material to build with. We're a small cog in a mighty machine and to secure the real estate and raw material, negotiations are required. After exploring the possibilities and extensive discussions the Snow Play area was locked in as the best option. Two nights of machine work and a solid day of hand shaping later the set up was complete... and without talking ourselves up... it looked sharp and super fun. As the competitors assembled the flood lights fired up, the beats kicked in from the Ultimate Ears snow cat and the anticipation levels rose. Qualification was squared away and finalists decided for the jam session finals. With the jam format the competitors were able to step it up, pushing each other in their attempts to impress the ever watchful judges. Groms and juniors were up first and blew away the appreciative crowd with there jib skills. I'm sure we'll see plenty from these kids in the future. Then it was time for the open division competitors to turn up the heat... and let me tell you, they did and it&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[ It’s the season that keeps on giving. Late Tuesday afternoon the snow started to fall, hard… by Wednesday morning the village was coated in 40cm of snow, with a 70cm dump up top. This was big. Temperatures were arctic. -8 degrees at the top with a wind chill of -20. By the time the sun came up the snow was still falling, opening was delayed while the staff tried to keep up with the constant settling snow, digging out lifts, car parks and making sure things were safe up top! People were saying it’s the biggest snowfall they had seen in the village in over 20 years. One local boy Ben Peatey was able to click into his bindings before he’d even left his doorstop and skied down to the village from his home in Crackenback Ridge. Temperatures remained freezing right through Wednesday and Thursday, keeping the fresh snow light and dry and ridiculously good. Off piste was the pick, with huge pow stashes to be found. Friday and the sun came back to us, with a crisp bluebird day. The snow on offer was still phenomenal heading into the weekend, softening up on Saturday with the sunshine. #dreamrun #thredbo #mythredbo #lovewinter A photo posted by Ashley Thomas (@ashthomas021) on Jul 16, 2016 at 8:16pm PDT We saw school holidays off in style, with the Torah Bright Mini Shred kicking off on Saturday morning and over 100 mini shredders coming down to learn and play with the pros. Saturday afternoon and we had a surprise DJ set, with Hugo from Flight Facilites and Tom Tilley from Triple J sending us off into the late arvo in style, with the famous Flare Run Saturday night.

Experts had forecast 25-30cm to hit last night and today, however we woke up to 40cm of fresh dry snow in the village and 70cm up the top...Pow Day! With fresh snow to be had all day and our tracks being filled in each couple runs, we're claiming best day of the season so far! Here's to a 100 more of those this winter. Everyone had their fare share of powder turns, leg burns and frozen fingers today. I've never seen so many people smiling on the mountain and in the lift lines like today, every run their was hooting and hollering all the way down. The mountain crew are currently working around the clock to get all lifts running for this weekend! With more snow on the forecast to fall till Friday and a big blue sky to appear on Saturday we would recommend getting out there all weekend. We can safely say that we were all kids today and Thredbo was the worlds biggest and best candy store... ever.  See you on the mountain.    ]]></excerpt>

We started off the week with more than 1900 competitors arriving to Thredbo for the Northern NSW Interschool’s Championships. Over four days we saw kids of all ages compete across five disciplines, with plenty of friendly competition, a bit of rain and of course lots of fun! There was plenty happening both on and off the mountain to keep kids and parents busy with lots of great events as part of the Kids Snow Festival! Treasure Hunts, Night Skiing and Kids Flare Runs, Snow Bikes and My Friend Mark and The Dancing Thredboland Animals just to name a few! Saturday brought us some much needed sunshine to wrap up Interschool’s, while Ski Mag put on a demo day down at the bottom of the Supertrail, giving people a chance to try out some new skis for the afternoon. The Torah Bright Mini Shred was put on hold for Sunday; it will be all go next week, with the event now running on the 16th of July. We finish the week on a high, thanks to the forecasts predicting up to 40cm of fresh snow from Monday through to Wednesday…fingers crossed!]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[For some of us, Thredbo is a seasonal haven, a weekend adventure or a passing visit, but for many people over the years, Thredbo has become more than just a home or a holiday, it’s become a way of life. My Thredbo sets out to uncover what Thredbo is, through the eyes of the many characters that hold its values and culture close to their hearts. The first of the My Thredbo series features Stuart Diver. Stuart always dreamt of working on the mountains and in the snow. He first skied at Thredbo back in 1973, and he’s been a regular face on the hill ever since. In 1994 he took up his first job as a ski instructor here. Over the years, Stuart worked his way up through the Thredbo team, working many diverse jobs across the resort; today he is the Resort Operations Manager at Thredbo, a dream job in his eyes. Stuart Diver is such an influential and integral part of Thredbo life. In this episode, he gives us an insight into why Thredbo is such a special place and why his love for the mountains and the snow has continued after all of these years.  The best things about the snow are the memories that are made, the people that we meet and the tales that are told. Every visitor to Thredbo has a unique story to tell and this season we want to hear your story. So what’s your Thredbo? #MyThredbo Click here to find out more.]]></excerpt>

                <title>Must Do: Saturday Night Flare Run</title>

                <postedOn>July 6, 2016</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[For over 30 years visitors to Thredbo have enjoyed the weekly fireworks and flare run display. In 2007, 1,269 skiers and snowboarders took part in a flare run to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Thredbo landslide, smashing the Australian record for the biggest flare run. This has always been a crowd favourite, and is a must do for any keen skiers and boarders over the age of 18. If you are an advanced rider, you can join in and be part of the spectacle by signing up on the day at the Valley Terminal lift pass office on Saturday afternoon. We decided to send our field correspondent Tiggy Cameron into the line of fire to share with you her first flare run experience.  “Wait, so they give you real flares…and you light them on fire...so that you can ski down the supertrail…in the dark?!” I got a call from a friend to see what I was up to last Saturday night. He was taking his Mother along for her first Thredbo Flare Run, and asked if I wanted to come along too…“Bring your skis, an old jacket and dress warm” were the instructions I was given. Around 5pm that Saturday evening, when everyone else was heading home for dinner, a large group of us assembled, including staff, locals and school holiday goers. We were handed two flares each and loaded onto Snow Gums chair lift, just as daylight started to disappear. Half way up it began to dawn on me what we were about to do…  “Wait, so they give you real flares…and you light them on fire...so that you can ski down the Supertrail…in the dark?!”  Just when I thought this place couldn’t get much quirkier, I find myself standing on the Supertrail at dusk, surrounded&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[School holidays are the most exciting thing about being a kid. Two weeks of bliss where you get to ditch the classroom and your Mum’s glad wrapped sandwiches, stay up late and sleep in when you want, and spend time playing with your friends and family, rather then sitting in a that ‘favourite’ maths class you have on a Friday afternoon. School holidays are the most exciting thing about being a kid, we can agree on that, but for some parents the idea of school holidays can be slightly daunting and that’s why here at Thredbo we’ve turned school holidays into snow holidays, with two weeks jam packed full of activities and events for both kids and parents to enjoy.  Introducing the Kids Snow Festival! A school holiday with a difference…not only can we provide kids with more than one good excuse to ditch the classroom, but it’s the perfect time for parents to ditch the stress of the city too. Less people, more activities, fresh air and a time to get the kids off their screens and plugged into the amazing outdoor conditions that Thredbo has to offer. There’s a lot happening. On the 7th and 14th of July ‘My Friend Mark and the Thredbo Animals’ will be putting on a show in a sing-along styled performance for all kids to join in on, followed by the exclusive flare run down Friday Flat where afterwards you can sit back and enjoy a spectacular fireworks display under the alpine night sky. The Torah Bright Mini Shred is definitely not one to miss for mini-shredders under the age of 18. It’s all happening on July the 10th at the Torah Bright Mini Park located on Friday Flat. On the day you can expect a relaxed and friendly environment, make new&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <title>The Art of Snowmaking</title>
                <cat>Festivals &amp; Events</cat>
                <postedOn>June 29, 2016</postedOn>
                <excerpt><![CDATA[Snowmaking has been around for a while. The first snowmaker was developed in the 50’s from a garden hose, a 10 horsepower compressor and a spray-gun nozzle. For Thredbo, the art of snowmaking arrived in 1987, the same year the first mobile phone call was made in Australia. The process of making snow has been fine-tuned over the past 20 years, but you still need the same two, very important components: water and cold air…we’re talking below 0 kind of cold air. Sounds easy enough right? Well not quite. Things get far more intricate when it comes to maximizing production and efficiency of man-made snow, so we’ll try to keep it short and sweet for you. Water is compressed out from the snow guns, it’s crucial that a light mist is formed, fine enough to linger in the air for as long as possible. The longer the water is suspended in the cold air, the more likely it is to crystalize and turn into soft, white snow. The colder the temperature, the better the quality and higher the quantity of snow. In 2006 Thredbo started automating their snowmaking system. Traditionally snow machines would continuously need to be re-aligned, requiring huge man power on the ground to manually aim the guns, as well as turn them on and off. This meant hardworking staff, who would work through the dark hours of the morning, in freezing cold temperatures, to tirelessly monitor and control the machines. Still to this day it takes a hard working team to keep the 337 snow guns up and running during the small’s hours of the morning at Thredbo, but it’s with the help of these new developments in automated technology that we now have the most extensive snow making here in Australia. Put simply, we wouldn’t be the resort we&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[You couldn’t script it. 24 hours of heavy snowfall lead us right into a weekend of sunshine. Last weeks storm delivered the dump of instant gratification that everyone so badly needed… 80 cms+ of soft, dry beautiful snow. It’s hard to describe the crowd that showed up over the weekend…local legends, frothing first timers, long distance travellers and stacks of stoked shredders. It was the weekend that you skipped work, threw caution to the wind and just got up there, and boy, was it one to remember.  It's going to be amazing out there today. Fresh snow, a huge night of snowmaking and the longest runs in Australia with Cruiser Area and High Noon open for skiing and boarding! #lovewinter A photo posted by Thredbo Resort (@thredboresort) on Jun 24, 2016 at 2:30pm PDT  You could hear ecstatic ‘hoots’ and ‘yews!’ and shrieks of glee echoing from around the resort, whether it was coming from someone bellowing down Powder Bowl, a jibber nailing a trick at the Cruiser Terrain Park, or a newbie perfecting their first turn. Everyone was on the same level of froth and it was just fantastic. Not often your first turns for the season is in 50 cm of pow.

Within 2 hours the resort was completely covered white and in less then 12 hours we had recorded well over 60cms of new snowfall up top, up to 20cms down in village and plenty in-between, with over 40cms mid-mountain. Thanks to this beautiful storm, the Cruiser Area and High Noon are all set to make their season debut tomorrow. We can’t wait to get our ski legs warmed up on Australia’s longest open runs, so we’ll see you out there! Also, it’s good to see you, snow. I know our relationship hasn’t been the best over the last couple of weeks, but last night was amazing and I hope we can stay together all winter long. Check out the live snow cams here]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Thredbo is gearing up for its biggest and best winter yet with tons of concerts and Australia’s best music acts lined up to play throughout the season. The biggest challenge this winter is going to be finding a few spare hours to sleep! So what’s going down this winter? Well, we have the Corona Concert Series, Full Moon Parties, Poolside Parties, G.H Mumm Top2Bottom Uni Week, Fireball Fridays and Corona Sessions  plus a variety of individual music acts for everyone to enjoy. Corona Concert Series The next concert on the calendar is locked in for August 13th and is set to not disappoint with some of Australia’s best artists bringing the party to the mountains. The Jungle Giants are a definite favourite of ours having recently featured in the Triple J Hottest 100 and played alongside bands like The Arcade Fire. Feel the warmth return to your body as the Jungle Giants get the crowd grooving and moving through the night. Lime Cordiale are supporting this concert, bringing their new-age indie flavour straight from the northern beaches of Sydney to the Snowy Mountains. Joining them is Paper Hearts who know exactly how to get the dance floor jumping once the formalities are out of the way. Thanks for the weekend Sydney and Melbourne miss u kiss u. ?

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Nature, she’s a fickle thing, you can do all the snow dances you want and she still won’t show up to the party. It’s felt a bit like Mother Nature hasn’t been picking up her phone over the recent weeks, and it was looking as if she was going to be out of office for the long weekend too… But she showed her face right on cue, and brought us what has been an epic Opening Weekend…and more importantly some snow!  Face painting, magicians, circus workshops and dance jams kept the kids busy around the resort throughout Saturday, as Kenji Ogawa carved out a human sized Thredbo ice statue. As temperatures dropped, an incredible display of fireworks kicked us off into the evening and the snow began to fall on the vibrant crowd, both young and old, partying down at The Corona Concert Series to the likes of Yolanda be Cool and Art vs. Science. The party continued into the night, as did the low temperatures. The call was made to fire up the snow guns, and with thanks to the huge overnight effort from the snowmaking team, the village awoke to a beautiful, and more importantly WHITE Sunday morning! Once again the square was brought to life for the G.H Mumm Long Lunch on Sunday, with crowds heading poolside to the Thredbo Alpine Hotel to chill out to Sweet Mix Kids and P-Ranch for the remainder of the afternoon. Although we couldn't just yet click into our bindings, the Kosciusko Express was open to those wanting to check out the snow from the top, and both Friday Flat and the Snow Play area provided a huge amount of fun on foot. Snowballs, snowmen, sledding, snow fights and lots of smiles have left us feeling like winter is finally here.]]></excerpt>

We love winter so much that we wanted to fill you in on a couple of reasons why. Skiing and Boarding This one is pretty self-explanatory but seriously what is better than the feeling of flying down a mountain covered in snow with a pair of skis or board attached to your feet…. nothing. It is from now up until closing weekend that we dedicate getting out on the mountain as much as possible to enjoy the epic terrain, fresh air and fun times! We wouldn’t rather be doing anything else and hope that you can join us for some action this winter.

Well we have and it’s amazing… We would highly recommend checking out our wide range of venues after a day on the slopes to enjoy an après drink to reminisce on the great day had and the better days to come.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[We had quite the green thumb by the end of last Friday as employees and the wider community came together to plant trees in a reserve on the main road from Jindabyne to Thredbo, in an effort to improve the local environment. Over 600 trees were planted and the team at Greenfleet will complete the final planting this week, planting out another 2,500 trees in the area. This will contribute to the restoration of bushland and reducing erosion and weeds in the local area, helping offset the emissions of the Thredbo vehicle fleet. It was great to see so many employees partake in Friday’s efforts and assist each other in the planting of a variety of different trees. The team worked very hard and planted 600 trees in a couple of hours, Greenfleet Manager Justin Glass claimed that he had never seen so many trees planted so efficiently before by such an pro-environmental group of employees. Great work team! What was that? You care about sustaining the local Snowy Mountains environment and want to contribute somehow? Well, guests to Thredbo who purchase a Thredbo product this winter have the option to donate $4 to Greenfleet to offset their car’s emission from the commute to Thredbo. How cool is that! You can reduce your individual impact and help sustain the mountains you ski and ride on. So get involved this winter by supporting the ‘MyThredbo Park Project’ and however else you can and let’s help Captain Planet take pollution down to zero!  ]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Find the original article here As a small child – and keen skier – I‘d be verging on tears as our car rolled around the last corner and into Thredbo Village in the summer months – feeling dejected at the lack of snow covering the slopes. Fast-forward twenty-something years later and my reaction to rounding that final sweeping bend outside of the winter months has turned into something very different: I can’t get enough. Over the last few summers, Thredbo Resort Management have been working hard to cement the resort's reputation as the premiere four-season alpine resort in Australia. Thanks to new trail developments that have been completed since the snow melted at the end of last winter, I'd say they're on track to achieving it sooner rather than later.   Mountain biking isn’t new in Thredbo, they’ve been at the forefront of downhill racing since the ’90s, playing host to many significant events in the race calendar every year. Over the last ten or so years however, other resorts began to invest in their own lift-accessed bike parks and a management shift left Thredbo mountain biking looking at an uncertain future. Where the big change happened though, was in the 2012 announcement of a multi-million dollar funding campaign that would lead to a vast network of trail development, more bikes, and ultimately a world-class mountain bike destination.  Now four years on from this development announcement the evidence that it’s working is everywhere. Every weekend that I’ve spent in Thredbo this summer has been one spent exploring everything from the now complete Thredbo Valley Track (TVT) that runs over 20km from Thredbo Village to the Lake Crackenback Resort, to the newly revamped Kosciuszko Flow trail and the brand new all-mountain track that takes riders all the way to&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[The ultimate six-day Summer getaway for those who love mountains and bikes.  Outdoor has put together its ultimate six-day road trip to two of Australia’s premier mountain bike hotspots – and it’s one that you can do, too. We’ve based our trip from Sydney, but it’s equally as doable from Melbourne. Forget the airport, too – this is a road trip!   Read full article here.  DAY 1 – Sydney- Canberra - Jindabyne - Thredbo You’ve loaded the car the night before, and all you have to do at first light is to strap the bikes on and roll out for Canberra. An added bonus for the ultra-early risers is to sneak a ride at either Stromlo Forest Park or – or – the newly redone trails at one of Australia’s most iconic mountain bike destinations, Majura. Not only is the park almost right on top of the route to Thredbo, the trails are well marked for a quick mission out among the pine plantations.  Once you’ve cleared Canberra, you can make a beeline for the hills; Thredbo is the destination, but your accommodation options are wide open. Staying down the hill in Jindabyne can be more affordable, plus there’s the added advantage of a set of cross-country trails that surround the lake. The Mill Creek trail is among the newest, and it links in with a range of trails that cater for all skill sets.  A quiet beer and a feed at Bits and Pizzas overlooking the lake is a perfect way to carbo-load for the next day’s adventure.  Tip: Budget for National Park entry at Thredbo, as well as lift tickets.

                <title>Things to do in Thredbo During Summer</title>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[While many think of Thredbo as a winter holiday destination, you'll be surprised by all of the things you can experience there during the summer. Adventure capitol, Foodie heaven, relaxing oasis – phrases that conjure up images of bustling European cities or tropical island getaways. But what you might not realise is that you don’t have to travel halfway across the globe to have a brilliant break, perfectly tailored to your every travel whim. Just five hours drive from Sydney, or just over two hours from Canberra, is the idyllic alpine town of Thredbo. Famous for its lush ski fields, it’s best known as a snowy winter playground, drawing thousands of Aussies and internationaltravellers to ski and snowboard every snow season. But when the snow melts and the hoards of keen skiers drift away, Thredbo reveals itself as a refreshing summer getaway spot, with much more to offer than meets the eye. For nature-lovers, foodies, thrill seekers and families – there are things to do and places to see for everyone. See the great outdoors at its finest: Summer is the perfect time to climb Mount Kosciuszko. At 2228 metres above sea level, it’s the tallest mountain in Australia, yet the climb isn’t as daunting as you’d think. After taking the Kosciuszko Express chairlift from Thredbo, the gradual climb to the summit should take just over two hours. It's a good idea to take a snack to eat once you reach the top, while you take in the 360 degree views of the spectacular Snowy Mountains. From $99.50 you can have a night’s accommodation in Thredbo Village, buffet breakfast and a 1-day Kosciuszko pass. When the chilly snow season finishes, plenty of refreshing natural swimming spots can be found in the Snowy Mountains. Try the rock pools at Woodridge, where waterfalls stream&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Yoga and Mindfulness festival ‘Wanderlust’ heads to Thredbo with live music from Xavier Rudd and others  Thredbo may be an unbeatable town in winter, but its summers are not to be sniffed at, either.

                <excerpt><![CDATA[We hope you had a fantastic Australia Day Weekend. We had a blast and saw plenty of people #conquerkozzie - enjoying a sausage sizzle at Rawson's Pass along the way. For those who made it to the top of Australia on Saturday, there was poetry reading at the top and plenty of smiling faces. Spindrift Saga got the party started poolside at Thredbo Alpine Hotel and there was a mountain bike giveaway later on Saturday night. The weekend finished off with a game of cricket, live music and a spit roast BBQ. A few cheeky walkers decided to head to the top in their budgy smugglers...

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Blues lovers united in the Snowy Mountains for the 22nd annual Thredbo Blues Festival this past weekend. Featuring twenty-five of Australia’s greatest blues acts including Russell Morris, Andy Just (USA) and Gail Page, Thredbo came alive from 15th to 17th January as more than 15 indoor and outdoor venues hosted one of the nation’s most unique blues festivals. The spectacular weekend kicked off on Friday night with the Snowy Mountains’ very own band, The Hip Replacements, lighting up the Village Square for a captive audience As the night progressed, venues throughout Thredbo Village quickly filled with eager music lovers, all keen to witness the impressive back-to-back performances from the talent on show. In a first for Thredbo Blues, The Pearl Show hit the Keller Bar - delving into the music, obsessions and passions of Janis Joplin. Celebrating a woman who exploded onto the music scene in the late 1960s and quickly became the queen of rock ‘n’ roll and mother of thrift shop vintage funk, fans re-lived Joplin’s rebellious lifestyle and her distinctive voice through the group’s powerful renditions. The entertainment continued throughout Saturday, with blues fans kicking back to the sweet sounds of Fiona Boyes and The Foreday Riders whilst enjoying a few drinks poolside at Thredbo Alpine Hotel. By Saturday afternoon blues fans were spilling onto the street as Richard Perso packed out the courtyard at House of Ullr -  playing a cool mix of covers and originals - while Dan Dinnen had fans up and dancing at The Denman with his signature guitar-harmonica groves. Chart topping artist and Australian icon Russell Morris was back by popular demand; delighting crowds on Saturday evening with some of the most enduring blues hits this country has ever seen. Up next, Andy Just and the Third Degree took to the stage&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[It’s undeniable – there’s nowhere quite like the Snowy Mountains…in Summer.  We’ve been in Thredbo the past few days and I can’t tell you how much we both needed a pre-christmas getaway. Having a little break before the madness of Christmas arrived / end of year projects due was incredible. The plan was to fit in as much as possible into four days, which based on the reaction of my now exhausted body, we succeeded.  The Snowy Mountains are filled with fast flowing streams, a stunning national park, mountains, ancient snow gum trees and incredible rock formations – untapped beauty at its finest. As a child I had visited this region in both Summer and Winter (snow season) but obviously back then my appreciation levels were not quite like they are as an adult. Everything about the Snowies is just stunning.  Here is a guide of what to do, see and how to fill your time in Thredbo in Summer. Whether you’re travelling around Australia, or living here and in need of a little escape you’ll be utterly charmed.  PS: I hope you enjoy our photo diary!  Where is Thredbo Thredbo is a five hour drive from Sydney, Australia, but we broke up the journey with a quick stop over in Canberra to visit some friends!  Take a walk up Mt Kosciuszko Mt Kosciuszko is the tallest mountain in Australia. The walk is around a 13km round trip from the chairlifts and will take around 3-4 hrs to walk depending on how fast you are. It’s an easy walk and the scenery is stunning. My advice is to make sure you take a jumper up with you because it can get quite cold even if it’s 30+ degrees when you wake up. The altitude&hellip;]]></excerpt>

                <excerpt><![CDATA[Holidays can be a blur, you can’t keep track of what day it is and a day can seem like a year to keep the kids busy. For the families who were at Thredbo for the  School Holidays Adventure Festival over the Christmas and New Years period, we had the parents’ back covered.  The School Holidays Adventure festival had a huge amount of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Slack lining, trampoline sessions, treasure hunts, skate park workshops, mountain bike pump track sessions, arts and crafts, rock-climbing, face painting and lots more.  There was plenty to do keeping the whole family flat out trying to keep up. We still had our bobsleds, swimming pool with waterslide and mission inflatable and the Kosciuszko Express running  that is all included in the Thredbo All Mountain Pass.  Families could ride to the top of the Kozzi Express chair to downhill on a bike or take a leisurely walk to the to the top of Australia. With the Wild flowers still out, it makes it the best time of year to put on your walking shoes and get out in the mountains.  On New Years Eve we welcomed The Fool Factory to take to the stage with their amazing fire shows and stunts with Solid State Circus. Playing along side were the African inspired drumming group Drumassault, their beats got all the kids up dancing (along with some groovy parents).  With the huge bundles of flames rolling around the village square and the drums going off it will be a cool New Years eve memory for kids and grown ups. After the fire show came to a hot end, we introduced the Figmentz, a cover band from the south coast, playing their favourite cover songs everyone was up and dancing well&hellip;]]></excerpt>
