Thredbo is home to some of the country’s longest ski and snowboard runs – the longest is the Village Trail which clocks in at five kilometres. The resort’s different trails and terrain parks cater for beginners (stick to Friday Flats) right through to pro-shredders (Australia’s golden girl of snowboarding Torah Bright grew up on the slopes and still returns to the resort). Also keep your eye out for flare running on Saturday nights, snow shoeing tours, tobogganing and snow tubing.
Winter is here whether you like it or not – so rather than complain about it – embrace it! Thredbo is just six and a half hours drive from Sydney and offers some awesome scenery and snowy fun, and that's before you even hit the slopes. The Snowy Mountains resort's ski season typically lasts from June through to September, but Thredbo's got natural charms all year round.
