Thredbo Resort is officially kicking off the snow season in style, announcing that Friday Flat will be open for skiing and snowboarding from Opening Day, Saturday 7 June. With over 50cm of fresh snow and cold temperatures ideal for snowmaking, the resort is already working toward opening more terrain in the coming days.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the snowmaking team, guests will be carving their first turns of the season with access to the Easy Does It Chairlift, Magic Carpets, and a hike park right from the start.

“Thanks to our snowmaking efforts we are so excited to announce we will be getting our first turns of the season in on Opening Day,” said Stuart Diver, Thredbo General Manager. “We’re excited to get Friday Flat open for our guests and with natural snowfalls in the forecast we will keep pushing to get more terrain open as soon as we can.”

Packed Weekend of Free Entertainment

It’s not just about hitting the slopes—Thredbo’s Opening Weekend Celebrations promise non-stop action and entertainment across the village for all ages.

One of the major highlights is Hot Dub Time Machine presented by Balter, performing live at the Alpine Bar on Saturday 7 June at 3:30PM. Australia’s favourite time-travelling DJ will bring the energy for a huge après party to launch the season.

Families can enjoy a full weekend of free activities including:

  • Street performers and roving entertainment
  • Kids’ face painting and arts & crafts
  • S’mores and other treats
  • A spectacular fireworks display lighting up the village at 6PM on Saturday

More live music will keep the good vibes going at iconic Thredbo venues such as the Lounge Bar, Schuss Bar, and Merritts Mountain House Deck.

Big Early-Season Savings

With such a promising start to the season, June is shaping up to be the perfect time to experience Thredbo. Guests can take advantage of up to 45% off accommodation at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel throughout the month.

It’s also an ideal opportunity for beginners to get a feel for the snow, with Learn to Ski & Ride packages starting from just $99 for adults and $129 for kids.
