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..
