Thredbo in Winter
Thredbo has all
the advantages of a purpose built ski resort.
The village, first begun in the late 40s, has
been sited with the concept of keeping the winter
sports activities on the colder south facing slopes
which hold the snow longer and the residential
area on the north facing slopes to maximize the
winter sun hours.
In winter there are endless thrills
to be had by skiers and snow boarders on the tree
clad slopes of Mt Crackenback. Ski touring fans
and snow shoe enthusiasts will revel in the breathtaking
scenery of the back country. Beginners and less
experienced skiers are also well, catered for
on the gentler slopes of Merrits and the dedicated
beginner area of Friday Flat.
Equipment hire for downhill skiing,
alpine touring, cross-country skiing, snowboarding
or snow-shoeing is available in the resort or
from a range of outlets and shops in the Snowy
Mountains region.

for all levels.
