Thredbo Mountain Academy

High Performance Snowsports Training Program

Thredbo Mountain Academy is specifically designed for young athletes looking to get to the highest level within their chosen discipline. The program is designed for skiers and snowboarders over 8 years.

Over the 14 weeks participants will train, compete and progress to become well rounded, consistent, and ambitious athletes. Whilst we work hard on and off snow to create the best athletic outcomes this program is also all about passion, dedication, enjoyment and most importantly fun!

We have worked extensively with Snow Australia to become a key partner and pathway provider to ensure the continued growth and success of future Australian winter sports athletes.
