Here we are, three weeks into autumn and it’s just over 11 weeks until the start of the 2023 snow season on June 10thand Thredbo today launched its 2023 winter product range and season passes, day passes, snowsports lessons and equipment rentals are now available to purchase.

Thredbo recently won Australia’s Best Ski resort in the World Ski Awards for the sixth consecutive year and Thredbo will again manage daily capacity numbers, to ensure guests continue to enjoy a quality in-resort experience. As the last couple of seasons have shown this means close to no lift lines and more room to move on the mountain.

Thredbo General Manager, Stuart Diver said he is confident that the recently redesigned business model will ensure that Thredbo continues to deliver this “premium snow experience”.

“Every year, we’re improving Thredbo’s offering. This winter, we’ll continue to prioritise capacity utilisation on the mountain. We’ll provide guests with even more added value through our biggest-ever winter calendar of events and experiences. We’re continuing to roll out developments across our lifts, snowmaking system and more. We know that the upgrades we make each year are building upon each other to create an unrivalled winter experience in Australia,” said Mr Diver.
