Thanks to a huge early season snowfall and a massive range of events and entertainment, Thredbo Resort celebrated its best ever start to the snow season. Officially opened to skiers and snowboarders on Saturday 11 June, guests were able to enjoy the best of Thredbo’s terrain including Australia’s longest runs.
Thredbo’s impressive crew of 2022 Winter Olympic Ambassadors got the first tracks down the mountain, with Tess Coady, Valentino Guseli, Ben Tudhope, Jarryd Hughes, Josie Baff and Abi Harrigan all meeting and skiing with guests to show them how it’s done.
However, the action didn’t stop on the mountain, with Thredbo’s opening weekend also marking the start to Thredbo’s biggest ever events and entertainment calendar planned throughout the winter, featuring live entertainment and après events, kid’s festivals and a series of unique on-mountain experiences.
Highlight events from the opening weekend included a Welcome Home To Thredbo’s Winter Olympians, Illuminations & Fireworks Spectacular, Ice Carvings, and Heineken Saturday ft. Set Mo at the Alpine Bar.
Caroline Brauer, Thredbo Resort Marketing Manager, said “The snow cover was as good as it gets here in Thredbo for our opening weekend. We don’t usually see conditions like this until July or August.”
“After a challenging couple of years for the resort and its businesses, this is exactly the way we wanted to welcome everyone back to the resort to remember just how magical our mountains are.”
“Thredbo is officially back in action. We couldn’t be happier, not only with the excellent conditions, but also being able to offer our guests the biggest events and entertainment calendar yet,” said Ms Brauer.
With the successful opening weekend now wrapped, Thredbo Resort is excited to continue welcoming its guests back to enjoy what is shaping up to be one of the best seasons ever.
