Across the weekend, Thredbo was transformed into a white winter wonderland after two big nights of snowmaking and fresh snowfall.

Thanks to freezing temperatures, Friday and Saturday allowed for the first two big nights of snowmaking for 2024. Guns were blasting across the mountain each night to begin building the base, including in the Cruiser area and Friday Flat.

With 5cm of fresh snowfall up top and snow falling all the way down to the village on Saturday morning, Mother Nature also played a big part in turning the mountain white on the weekend.

With more sub-zero temperatures in the forecast, Thredbo will continue to ramp up its snowmaking operations in the lead-up to winter.

Further strengthening the snowmaking fleet ahead of this season, Thredbo has replaced the pipeline snowmaking gun and added three new fan guns towards the base of the Kosciuszko Chairlift,  building upon the fifteen snowmaking guns added in 2022 and 2023.
