Conditions for 2026/27 Gravity Season Pass - Lift and Resort Access

Last Updated 15 April 2026

Risk Warning

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING SKIING, SNOWBOARDING, USING LIFTS, ALPINE COASTER, MOUNTAIN BIKING AND TO A LESSER DEGREE HIKING) INVOLVE A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF PHYSICAL HARM OR PERSONAL INJURY INCLUDING PERMANENT DISABILITY AND/OR DEATH TO PARTICIPANTS. ANY SUCH INJURY MAY RESULT NOT ONLY FROM YOUR ACTIONS BUT FROM THE ACTION, OMISSION OR NEGLIGENCE OF OTHERS. 

Issued by Kosciuszko Thredbo Pty Ltd (referred to throughout as ‘us’, ‘we’, ‘our’) as operator of the Thredbo Alpine Resort (‘Resort’ or ‘Thredbo’).

Terms and Conditions Of Use

By using your lift pass or accessing the Resort you acknowledge that you have read and understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Use. Any adults who are parents or guardians of children who are unable to accept these Terms and Conditions of Use in their own capacity, do so on their behalf and must ensure they comply with them. Separate and additional terms and conditions may apply to the use of some of our facilities, equipment and services.

These Terms and Conditions of Use refer to various rights that may be exercised in our discretion, and the discretion of our staff. Mountain based recreational activities can be dangerous, and as a result we need the right to do so. We will, however, endeavour to ensure those rights are exercised in accordance with all applicable laws, and having regard to the need to protect staff, customers, property and equipment.

General Provisions

  1. You must observe the Mountain Bike / Hiking Responsibility Code (as set out below, and as may be updated in our discretion by notices displayed throughout the Resort) and conduct yourself in a safe, responsible and controlled manner at all times.
  2. The use of any snow or mountain sport equipment or devices, whether recreational or otherwise, other than skis or snowboards during our snow season (and mountain bikes when permitted, or other equipment we approve in our discretion) is not permitted within the Resort boundary. Tobogganing and general snow-play is also not permitted within the Resort boundary.
  3. You must read and comply with all signs and follow all directions given by us and our staff, and by any public health official or law enforcement officer.
  4. You acknowledge that the risks associated with mountain based recreational activities are not always prominent, conspicuous or physically observable and you accept those risks nonetheless.

Limitations and Exclusions of Liability

  1. This section contains limitations and exclusions on our liability. Those limitations and exclusions are not intended to apply in any circumstances where the law does not permit us to do so, whether under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW) or otherwise.
  2. You engage in any recreational activity at your own risk.
  3. Where we provide “recreational services” as defined in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (which include sporting activities or similar leisure time pursuits), to the maximum extent permitted by that legislation we exclude all liability to you for personal injury (as defined below) arising out of any failure by us (or our employees or agents) to comply with any consumer guarantees applying under that legislation (including those set out in the Australian Consumer Law). For these purposes, “personal injury” means:
    1. death;
    2. any physical or mental injury of an individual (including the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of such an injury);
    3. the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease of an individual; and
    4. the coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs in relation to an individual:
      1. that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to an individual or community; or
      2. that may result in harm or disadvantage to an individual or community.
  4. Where liability cannot be excluded, we limit our liability to the maximum extent permitted by law.
  5. Without limiting paragraph 2 above, all warranties, representations or conditions relating to the services we provide (whether express or implied and whether arising out of contract, at common law or under statute) not set out in these Terms and Conditions of Use are excluded.
  6. We are not liable to you (on any basis) for any indirect or consequential loss or damage to you.
  7. However, nothing limits our liability for representations or other communications (either oral or written) made by us, where by law such liability cannot be excluded.
  8. The term “including” in these Terms and Conditions of Use is not a term of limitation.

Your Gravity Pass

  1. Validity and Use
    1. Your lift pass is valid only for the period specified or selected at the time of purchase.
    2. It must be used solely by the named pass holder and only on the dates for which it was validly purchased.
    3. The age category assigned to the lift pass (e.g. child, youth, adult, senior) must accurately reflect the pass holder’s age as at the first date of season.
    4. The pass remains our property at all times, and:
      1. must not be resold, transferred or altered in any way;
      2. is valid only for the assigned pass holder and cannot be transferred to another person.

Any breach of these conditions will result in the cancellation of the lift pass and may invoke police action.

Verification Requirements

  1. You must carry your lift pass at all times and present it upon request by our staff at lift access points.
  2. If asked, you must also provide photo ID to confirm you are the valid pass holder.

  2. any facilities are not operating for any reason, including weather, safety or any other operational closure, restriction or limitation or as directed by our staff in their discretion;
  3. any portion of the pass remains unused.

Behaviour and Conduct

  1. you fail to comply with these terms and conditions or the Mountain Biking Responsibility Code;
  2. we otherwise consider appropriate in our discretion to protect our staff, customers, property and equipment, including in response to unacceptable behaviour by you that includes physical or verbal abuse, threats, harassment or any form of aggression toward staff or other guests;
  3. you have engaged or attempted to engage in any unlawful conduct.

Instruction Restrictions

  1. Your lift pass does not entitle you to provide or receive MTB instruction.
  2. Instruction must be arranged separately through authorised staff or agents.
  3. Any unauthorised instruction is strictly prohibited unless prior written consent is granted.

Summer 2026/27 Responsibility Codes

Mountain Bike Responsibility Code

Regardless of how you enjoy your mountain bike sport always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are inherent risks in all mountain bike recreational activities. Common sense, protective equipment and personal awareness can reduce risk. These risks may include, but are not limited to weather, visibility, surfaces as well as natural and artificial hazards such as rocks, trees, stumps, vehicles, lift towers, fences and other Thredbo Resort equipment.

Minimum Bike Requirements

  • 2 working brakes (disc brakes highly recommended)
  • Front Suspension and/or rigid bike with fat tyres required (dual suspension highly recommended)
  • Tyre width must be between 1.9 to 3 inches in width to be accommodated by chairlift bike carriers
  • Remove mudguards longer than 25cm
  • Bikes may only be ridden by one person.
    • No children are permitted on bikes with an adult; tandem bikes and bikes with trailers are not permitted.

OBSERVE THE CODE AND SHARE WITH OTHERS THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE

  • Take lessons to learn and progress.
  • Helmets are mandatory. Full-face helmets are highly recommended on all trails.
  • Before using lifts, have the ability to load, ride and unload yourself and your bike safely. Always use restraining devices (Safety Bar).
  • Do not ride lifts or undertake any form of mountain biking if your ability is impaired by drugs or alcohol.
  • Know your ability. Always stay in control on the ground and in the air. Avoid other people and objects around you.
  • Obey all signage. Stay on marked trails. Do not cut switchbacks. Keep off closed areas.
  • Observe all Walking Zones. Dismount your bike and walk.
  • When entering a trail or starting downhill, look uphill and give way to other riders.
  • Do not stop where you obstruct the trail or are not visible from above.
  • Assist others if you are involved in or witness a collision or accident. Identify yourself to Bike Patrol or staff member.
  • Uphill biking is not permitted on Downhill trails or mountain roads at any time due to risk of collisions with machinery or vehicles.
  • When approaching a trail or feature: PreRide, ReRide and FreeRide to ensure the trail or feature is within your ability.
    • PreRide – Ride slowly and inspect the trail.
    • ReRide – Get comfortable and consistent on the trail.
    • FreeRide – Progress with confidence and control.

Hiking Responsibility Code

For your safety it is critical to understand weather and conditions may change rapidly and to be prepared for these possibilities to reduce the risk of exposure and rescues. Assess and know if your hike is within our Thredbo leasehold area or outside, understand it may be a prolonged period of time before help can reach remote locations. To preserve and conserve the longevity of the hiking terrain for others it is each individual’s responsibility to follow the Leave No Trace principles.

OBSERVE THE CODE AND SHARE WITH OTHERS THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE

  • If observed extreme weather conditions in forecast reconsider and revaluate hiking. Utilise common sense if extreme high, low temperatures, wind, snow, hail and thunderstorms will impact the hike.
  • Take sufficient water, sun and weather protection into the alpine environment as no water refill stations are available, shaded areas are minimal and shelters are remote.
  • Be prepared to turn back; weather changes, fatigue, unexpected conditions and running out of time, you can always come back another day.
  • Protect water sources; avoid damaging or altering precious and limited alpine streams and lakes through human activities. This includes swimming.
  • Do not stop where you obstruct MTB tracks or vehicle access roads or are not visible from above.
  • Observe and obey all signs and warnings.
  • Avoid walking alone and let someone know your plans. Trip Intention Forms can be submitted through the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services website.
  • Leave No Trace:
    • Plan ahead and prepare.
    • Travel on durable surfaces – remain on designated walking tracks or travel on surfaces which can tolerate trampling. Much of the alpine ecosystem is fragile and cannot recover from trampling.
