A cold polar air mass heading north has brought an intense snowstorm to Thredbo Resort, creating ideal conditions for winter sports enthusiasts.
The storm began yesterday afternoon, delivering 5 cm of fresh snow accompanied by blizzard conditions, strong winds, and freezing temperatures. Experts predict that this low-pressure system will persist throughout the week, forecasting a fresh snow accumulation of up to 80 cm for Thredbo.
With subzero temperatures in full effect, Thredbo’s snowmaking crew took advantage of the conditions, operating 195 snowmaking guns for over 13 hours last night. This combination of natural snowfall and artificial snowmaking ensures that skiers and snowboarders will have the best possible experience on the slopes this winter.
The timing of the snowfall couldn’t be better, coinciding perfectly with the second week of the NSW school holidays, which begins today. Families arriving at Thredbo can look forward to exploring fresh powder and new terrain, making for an unforgettable holiday experience.
Mountain Watch, The Bureau of Meteorology, and Snowatch are all predicting substantial snowfall over the coming days. Mountain Watch is calling for up to 59 cm over the next seven days, The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts 70 cm or more, and Snowatch predicts up to 82 cm over the next 14 days.
Guests awoke this morning to a beautiful wintery scene, with a dusting of snow all the way down to the village. This picturesque setting and the promise of more snow have everyone eagerly anticipating the upcoming skiing and snowboarding opportunities.
The ongoing storm and the diligent work of Thredbo’s snowmaking team ensure that this winter season will be one to remember. As the storm continues to blanket the resort in fresh snow, the excitement among winter sports enthusiasts is palpable.
