• 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.”

PRODUCT, PRICING & ON SALE DATES

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).

Season Passes allow unlimited visits and represent great value for skiers and riders who plan to visit more than eight days over the season. Like Day Passes, a Season Pass provides access to Thredbo's network of lifts including Australia's Only Alpine Gondola plus a huge variety of terrain for all skill levels including Australia's Longest Run, Supertrail and Australia's Highest Lifted Point.

A limited number of Season Passes will be available for purchase on 31 March, followed by a staggered release of Day Passes, rental and lessons through April, based on intended travel dates.
