Thredbo Resort Unveils Winter 2021 Experience

• Winter season opens for sale from 31 March with new range of Season Passes, followed by a staggered release of Day Passes, lessons and rental based on intended travel dates.
• Thredbo launch a range of new, unique mountain experiences.

Thredbo Resort has today unveiled its highly anticipated 2021 winter season product offering including Day Passes, lessons and rentals, alongside a limited number of Season Passes. 2021 will also see the return of Thredboland children's programs, terrain parks and the launch of new, intimate experiences never offered before.

Thredbo will be operating under COVID-19 restrictions and will be releasing 2021 winter products with staggered on-sale times based on intended travel dates, to manage the strong demand expected.

Stuart Diver, General Manager, Thredbo Resort said, “We are committed to providing Australia's best snow experience and are looking forward to bringing back many of the most loved Thredbo experiences as well as introducing some new ones this season, too. We anticipate we will be operating under certain COVID-19 restrictions and expect demand to be high. We apologise to those whose preferred dates or experiences sell out as a result of demand and capacity limits. We encourage guests to plan their visits early, book in advance and be flexible with travel dates to avoid disappointment – particularly families and larger groups.”

“We can't wait to welcome guests back to Thredbo to ski, snowboard and enjoy the best of Thredbo's alpine atmosphere from June.”

The official season will kick off from 12 June (subject to snow conditions).

2021 Day Passes will be priced at $169 for adults and $89 for kids, while winter Season Passes will start from $1319 for adults and $799 for kids. New in 2021, Thredbo will offer three types of season pass including a Premium Season Pass, Value Season Pass (excludes 26 June – 11 July school holidays) and Midweek Value Season Pass (excludes weekends and 26 June – 11 July school holidays).

Stuart Diver, continued, “We are excited to be getting ready to welcome guests to the mountain this winter having taken the challenges of a COVID operating environment and adjusting to deliver an unmatched snow experience, one that will ensure our guests can enjoy the on mountain and off mountain après ski experience in a COVID-world.

“The team at Thredbo are very experienced in delivering a COVID-safe season, having delivered a successful 2020 winter and summer season. We continue to remain committed to providing our guests the very best experience under this new way of operating, so while the season will be different, the things that people love about Thredbo – the atmosphere, the amazing team and community, the spectacular terrain, fantastic events and experiences – will be even better this winter.”

Thredbo boasts a variety of alpine terrain suitable for all abilities and ages. Beginners benefit from a purpose built area designed to progress skills in a safe environment, while intermediate skiers and snowboarders can enjoy Australia's longest runs and the wide variety of topography on offer.
