Thredbo Ski Resort Guide
Thredbo is a relatively upmarket alpine resort in NSW; it hosted the only World Cup race ever to be held in Australia. It has over 650 m of vertical drop and it has a lot to offer both on and off the piste. Runs, at Thredbo, are lined with gum trees and are varied. Experts should seek out the Funnel Web; the steepest run on the mountain. Queues are kept short by the high speed lifts, although it can get busy at peak times. Off the hill the town of Thredbo is lively and, in true Aussie style, there are plenty of places to wet your whistle. The town is up-market in places but affordable accommodation can be found it you look around.

Visitor Reviews of Thredbo
Grant Wignall from Australia writes:
Well once again the Aussie Alps have failed to deliver a decent season and with such a good start it really turned out to be disappointing with warm sunny days and plenty of rain in the mix. Ok, it's fine for families but if you're an intermediate or above in my opinion, after 20 years of persevering with the Aussie Alps, you would be better off saving your money and putting it towards a trip overseas. I recommend Japan, the US or Canada (BC). In actual fact with our dollar so strong it's not any more expensive than a snow holiday in OZ and it's so much better value for money in terms of infrastructure, acreage and the amount and quality of snow you get. Yes, I agree with the previous post regarding the "ministry for propaganda" It really does start to get a little monotonous and I know it's their job to paint the rosy picture, but they should be a little more honest and stop treating us like idiots.
