So, I did two days at Thredbo in Australia this week. I would have liked to have done more but the 2.5 hours drive from hotel in Canberra was long enough to limit my days. Still was nice putting last year's Ikon pass to work abit more before our season starts in a few months. Wednesday was a glorious spring day with nice soft bumps everywhere. Today was a little bit of a different story as it rained most of the whole day. Overall Thresbo was a fun mountain.... It kind of reminded me of Brighton with fun rolling terrain but not a lot of steep stuff. Also, it had a little bit of the akwardness of getting from one lift/base area to the next. The overall vert is more than the Catskills but less steep... With the chairlift vert coming in at between 1400.-1800ft.. Downside for me was that the highest terrain was only serviced by TBars, so I only did that a couple of times(still hate them .. haha) Anyhow.. definitely a good time. If is would do again would try to go in late Aug versus early Sept as I was hearing from several people that the lower terrain had taken a beating in the last week or so from warm temps. Typically I was seeing the top elevation with temps of 2-3C and the base at 8-9C. Few pics attached..

i guess i have just grown to expect the least from Blue in this department. less disappointment this way.

Looking nice!

Phenomenal dude. Awesome report from down under! Thanks for sharing.

Well, 2 $79 flights. Down and back. But yeah, that’s the deal. I’m not gonna do it though. The gotcha for me is that you have to wait until you have your companion pass on Jan 4 to book the companion fares. My luck, I would buy my fare to Denver now and then the plane would fill up, so wouldn’t be able to book Pops or should have to switch flights, and by then the prices may have gone up so much it wipes out the savings. 2 or more flights I thought I would make, no brainer. To try to save $240 on one trip, not worth the risk

Really sad that they can't keep those going or even give an update on the construction. Piss poor marketing.

I’ll have to download the flight tracker software onto my jitterbug at 14.4 Kbps. Right now I’m downloading a picture of Pamela Anderson and in a minute and a half I’ll see a nipple.
