Snow Conditions
Great top to bottom skiing and boarding across the entire resort. The mountain had a firm base which was covered in a light dry layer of snow after another dusting overnight and snowmaking on the lower trails. The groomed were a treat in cord and there were plenty of windblown pockets up high.

Snow Riding
It was a fab day on the mountain with windblown pockets of powder up high and the groomed slopes in great condition. The Bluff, Funnel Web and up around Karels were a few of the highlights for the advanced while the upper intermediates loved the fresh cover down Waimea and World Cup. The freshly groomed Cruiser area and tree-lined High Noon were the groomers’ tip and the Supertrail is always a popular choice for a challenge. The Basin was in great shape and provided the next step for the beginners and littlies after warming up on Friday Flat.

Tip of the Day
The sun was shining and the sky was blue, I had a ripper of a day; I hope you did too. After a big day of riding it’s time to unwind, in the Thredbo Village – it’s one of a kind.
