Thredbo enjoys weekend of snowfalls and events

Following the hosting of one of its biggest events weekends ever, the Thredbo alpine resort is today welcoming another 5cm of fresh snow overnight with continuing falls this morning.

Following snowfalls last Thursday and subsequent snowmaking, Thredbo guests enjoyed variety of events in addition to fun skiing and snowboarding conditions.

Last Friday, Thredbo hosted the 9th Annual Transfer Banked Slalom which saw 285 snowboarders turn out to race down the purpose-built slalom course.

Attracting snowboarders of all ages and abilities, the event attracted international riders from all over the globe including Canada, Sweden, Japan, Great Brittain and the United States.

From 10th to 12th August, the Rainbow Mountain Festival took over Thredbo with three-days of pride-filled celebrations.

With welcome drinks, a Rainbow On-Mountain Cocktail Party, a Pride Ride down Supertrail, a Cloud-9 inspired Rainbow Room lunch at Kareela Hutte and Big Deck Energy DJ sessions at Black Sallees, the party celebrated diversity, inclusivity, visibility, community and love.

On Saturday night, Thredbo hosted one of its biggest-ever First Base après events presented by Canadian Club. The Poof Doof DJs were the talent for the evening, returning to the stage at Alpine Bar with a high energy performance like no other. Capping off the Rainbow Mountain Festival, the event saw huge numbers turn out to dance under the fireworks with glitter, rainbows and sparkles aplenty.

On Friday, Thredbo and Range Rover unveiled a brand-new Range Rover House experience. Running until 20th August, the curated activation has taken over the luxurious Rockpool Lodge to give guests the opportunity to partake in Range Rover Sport Experience Drives before relaxing in the lodge.

After driving through beautiful alpine roads and hitting the slopes, attendees can embrace the après ski lifestyle with wellness programs such as sound healing, breathwork, saunas, cold water immersion and more. Evening entertainment includes live music, exclusive dining events and wine and spirit tastings.

Speaking at the end of last week, Thredbo Brand and Marketing Manager, Richie Carroll commented “there is an air of excitement in the resort ahead of this weekend's events and this morning's snowfall has further added to the electric atmosphere.”

With fresh snow and more in the forecast, skiers and snowboarders are getting excited for upcoming conditions with snowfall expected to continue throughout this entire week plus colder temperatures forecast to remain, allowing for suitable snowmaking conditions.
