With snow still falling and more in the forecast, the snow season has well and truly arrived in Australia. Thredbo Resort has received over 125cm of fresh snow in the past seven days, setting the scene for the best start to the season in over 20 years.
Thredbo Resort reported that it is looking picture-perfect after the recent dumping of fresh snow blanketing the resort over the past seven days. With the official opening of the snow season this Saturday 11 June, the resort is primed for the best start to the snow season in over 20 years.
Thredbo Resort General Manager Stuart Diver said “In my many years living and working in Thredbo, I have never seen the Village so covered in snow ahead of the June long weekend.”
“The entire Thredbo community is really excited to see such a strong start to Winter 2022. It’s great to see such positive energy amongst our staff and community ready to welcome guests back to the mountains this weekend.”
The snowfall has allowed all major resort areas to open for this weekend. From this Saturday 11 June, Australia’s longest run Supertrail will be open for skiing and snowboarding, as well as High Noon, the Cruiser area and Friday Flat. Both sides of the mountain will be linked via the Traverse and Sundowner meaning skiers and snowboarders of all abilities will have plenty of terrain to choose from.
Delivering the biggest alpine events calendar in the country this winter, Thredbo has a range of celebrations and events planned to herald in the season ahead. Key highlights for opening weekend include a Welcome Home To Thredbo’s Winter Olympians, Illuminations & Fireworks Spectacular, Ice Carvings, Heineken Saturday ft. Set Mo at the Alpine Bar and more.
Located at the heart of the Australian Alps and nestled in the foothills of Australia’s highest mountain Mt Kosciuszko, Thredbo is Australia’s highest adventure destination in both summer and winter. As well as the exceptional terrain on offer, Thredbo delivers guests the best alpine experience with a huge range of on-mountain and après events in its unique, European style village.
Thredbo is within a 3-hour drive from Canberra and a 6-hour drive from Sydney.
