Thredbo
AUSTRALIA'S
ULTIMATE WINTER RESORT
Today, the ski world is divided into two groups: those who haven't
been to Thredbo and ask "Why ski at Thredbo?", and those
who have been and ask "Why ski anywhere else?" And why
would you ski anywhere else?
NATURE
DID THE MAJOR PART
Somebody
up there must love skiers, because Thredbo is a natural location for a ski
resort.
Starting with its elevation. It's high, which means snow. In fact, Thredbo, with
the highest lifted point in Australia, is just a snowball's throw from Mt
Kosciusko, the highest peak. This means the snow tends to start sooner and last
longer.
Thredbo is nestled in the valley with magnificent views of Mt Crackenback, which
provides a wide variety of skiable slopes from beginner-friendly to
advanced-awesome. The resort offers an interesting variety in its choice of
skiable terrain.
WE
DID THE REST
When
you head for the slopes you discover one of the best ski areas in the Southern
Hemisphere.
Thredbo's lift system is known for its efficiency and speed due to four
state-of-the-art quad chairs.
