Thredbo Opens New Beginner Surface Lift
Thredbo Resort has recently unveiled 'Freddie's Snowrunner,' Australia's newest ski lift. This exciting addition, located in the Kids Learning Area on Friday Flat, comes just in time for the Australian school holidays. With the introduction of this surface lift, Thredbo Ski Resort now boasts a total of 14 lifts, revolutionising children's skiing and snowboarding lessons.
Spanning an impressive length of 98 meters (322 feet), Freddie's Snowrunner is one of Australia's longest snow runners. It takes young skiers and snowboarders through a tunnel that provides protection from the elements while they enjoy the snow. As they ride down, children can also engage with thrilling obstacles on both sides of the tunnel, adding to the excitement. Moreover, a new office space has been constructed to accommodate on-hand supervisor staff and offer convenient toileting facilities for children during their lessons.
