This is a contrasting fact as the Thredbo village is nestled on a low altitude at the Crackenback Valley’s bottom. It is precisely because of this reason that the lower half of the ski resort in the Thredbo valley is not always fully packed with snow due to the temperature that is enough to melt the snow. Therefore, when night knocks the life door here making the temperature to go down below zero degrees Celsius, it makes the Thredbo snow perfect for the interesting activity of snow making, one of the interesting things to do here.



While being at the Thredbo ski resort, you can expect 14 lifts here: 3 hi-speed quads as well as double chairs, 5 t-bars, 2 snow runners, and 1 quad along with 50 runs as well as a standard tri-color system of grading.
