Pittwater Life June 2017 Issue

A 2-NIGHT THREDBO
SKIING GETAWAY FOR 2!
Can you believe Australia’s premier
alpine resort Thredbo is celebrating
its 60th anniversary in 2017? It’s
time to party on the slopes – get ready
for some spectacular events, activities
and entertainment throughout winter
and beyond!
Plus, this month Pittwater Life and
Thredbo Alpine Resort are giving one
lucky reader the chance to win a 2-night
winter getaway to the snow for 2 people,
including breakfasts, 2 x 2-day adult
lift passes and 2 x 2-day adult ski hire –
that’s a dream break worth nearly $2000
(note: additional persons can be added at
cost by arrangement with the good folks
at Thredbo.)
Some of the fun things Thredbo have
planned this winter:
n A commemorative ‘2037’ Bell will be
installed at the top of the highest lifted
point in Australia – the top of Karels T-Bar.
The Bell, placed at 2037 metres above
sea level, will be a great addition to the
standard ‘selfie’ and will allow skiers and
snowboarders to announce to the whole of
Thredbo Valley that they have reached the
top of Thredbo!
n Thredbo’s magical village will be made
even more picturesque with the addition
of beautiful tree lighting. Complementing
the vibrant après scene that Thredbo
village enjoys, it’s sure to be a massive
hit with families and kids as they
experience a true winter wonderland.
n Thredbo will be introducing some onmountain
‘Kids Only’ adventure zones
around the family friendly Cruiser and
Friday Flat areas.
n You can now sign up for a premium
beginner lesson – drop the kids off, grab a
coffee and get ready for your lesson from
10.30am. Just add this on when purchasing
any beginner lift and lesson package.
(Maximum of only six per class!)
n Advanced and Intermediate
snowboarders can work on their skills
with a new Max3 session – jump into a
park session at 1pm, with just you and two
others in this three-hour lesson, all for the
same price as a one-hour private lesson.
n Play ‘Winter Disc Golf’ among the
eucalypts on the ‘9-basket’ course at the
foot of the slopes; a fun activity for all ages.
n Plus, the Thredbo Leisure Centre can
now be included on your lift pass!
Not only can you enjoy what’s on
offer at Thredbo this winter season, but
thanks to Thredbo’s partnership with the
Mountain Collective – an unprecedented
collaboration between the world’s best
independent ski destinations – you can
also get exclusive benefits and discounts
around the world in New Zealand, Japan,
