'''Thredbo''' is a village and [[ski resort]] in the [[Snowy Mountains]] of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. It is approximately ((convert|500|km)) south of [[Sydney]], accessible by the [[Alpine Way]] via [[Cooma]], [[Berridale]] and [[Jindabyne]]. The village is built in the valley of the [[Thredbo River]], also known as the Crackenback River, at the foot of the [[Ramshead Range]].

The town has approximately 4,150 beds, but a permanent population of only approximately 477 people.<ref name=Census2011Y>((Census 2011 AUS|id=UCL122142|name=Thredbo Village (Urban Centre/Locality) |accessdate=16 June 2015|quick=on))</ref> When the mountain is fully covered by snow, Thredbo has the longest ski runs in Australia, attracting approximately 700,000 winter visitors annually.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/travel/the-best-local-snow-business-20081113-6529.html|title=The best local snow business|access-date=17 September 2009|date=13 November 2008 | work=[[Sydney Morning Herald]]))</ref> In summer, Thredbo is a [[hiking]] and summer sport destination, offering [[rock climbing]] and [[abseiling]], fishing, [[cross-country cycling]] and downhill MTB riding and hosts a [[blues]] [[music festival]], with approximately 300,000 summer visitors (figures are ((As of|2005|lc=on))).<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.thredbo.com.au/about/history.asp |title=Thredbo &#124; About Thredbo &#124; History |access-date=2005-09-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20051019181502/http://www.thredbo.com.au/about/history.asp |archive-date=19 October 2005))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://www.thredbo.com.au/about/resortinformation/factsandfigures.asp |title=Thredbo &#124; About Thredbo &#124; Facts and Figures |access-date=2005-09-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20051019191122/http://www.thredbo.com.au/about/resortinformation/factsandfigures.asp |archive-date=19 October 2005))</ref>

Thredbo resort was developed by a syndicate of people who were at the time working on the [[Snowy Mountains Scheme]]. In 1957, the syndicate was granted a head-lease over the area that Thredbo now occupies. Development occurred in the following years under [[Lendlease]]. In January 1987, [[EVT Limited|Amalgamated Holdings Limited]] (AHL) purchased the [[head lease]] from Lendlease. Event Hospitality and Entertainment operates Thredbo village's services, real estate, and lease arrangements as a public company; however, a range of private businesses operate around the year providing activities, shopping, restaurants, accommodation, tours and nightlife.

==History==

The origin of the name “Thredbo” has been attributed to the [[Aboriginal Australians|Aboriginal]] inhabitants of the Snowy Mountains.

==Ski resort==
((More citations needed section|date=September 2009))
[[File:Thredbo ski resort.jpg|thumb|Skiing at Friday Flat beginners area.]]
[[File:Thredbo skiing.JPG|thumb|Skiing at Merrits]]
Thredbo is an Australian ski resort set within [[Kosciuszko National Park]] in NSW and was modelled on a European skiing town, reflecting the heritage of workers on the [[Snowy Mountains Scheme]] such as Tony Sponar, who is credited with having established the location as a ski field.
<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.thredbo.com.au/about-thredbo/history/|title=History of Thredbo|access-date=29 May 2010))</ref> Contrasting with the primarily lodge-based [[Perisher Ski Resort|Perisher]], Thredbo is a town with lodges, shopping and nightlife. Thredbo has 14 lifts: an 8-person [[Gondola lift|gondola]], 3 hi-speed quads, 1 quad, 5 t-bars, 1 double chair (following the removal of Merritts Chairlift in 2020, and the Ramshead Chairlift in 2010), and 3 snow runners.

Thredbo has the steepest overall terrain of any ski resort in mainland Australia, and also the highest lifted point (((cvt|2037|m|disp=or)) [[Australian Height Datum|AHD]]). From this highest access point at Karel's T-Bar, the lease-holder [[Kosciuszko Thredbo]] and private adventure companies have access for backcountry ski tours to Mt. Kosciuszko and multiple other locations on the Main Range. Thredbo Village sits at the base of the Crackenback Valley, and due to its low altitude (((cvt|1365|m|disp=or))) the ski resort does not always retain snow on the lower half of the mountain as a result of higher temperatures, although [[Inversion (meteorology)|temperature inversions]] at night and below zero temperatures enable snow making. Because of this, Thredbo has invested almost $6 million in the largest snowmaking system in the Southern Hemisphere((Citation needed|date=December 2009)), covering some 65 hectares of trail and using a three-stage automated process. The system is operated mainly at night to top up the lower half of the mountain and any other high traffic areas. The automated areas include the Supertrail, Friday Flat, High Noon, The Cruiser area's Walkabout and Ballroom, Sundowner, Lovers Leap bypass, World Cup, and Lower True Blue.

Thredbo has over 50 ski runs and employs a standard 3-colour grade system; green for beginners, blue intermediate and black diamond advanced. The longest continual run is from the top of Karel's T-Bar to Friday Flat and is 5.9&nbsp;km long; however, this is composed of several trails. The longest single run is the ''Crackenback Supertrail'', which is the longest run in Australia.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/holidays/news/article.cfm?c_id=224&objectid=3517274|title=Chalets and snow guns|access-date=17 September 2009|date=14 August 2003|author=Squires, Nick|newspaper=[[New Zealand Herald]]))</ref>

During the [[Vietnam War]], Australia was one of the destinations soldiers could pick for a week-long R & R. At [[Sydney Airport]] the USO had different activities that could be chosen if the soldier wished. One option was skiing at Thredbo at a reduced rate. The package included round trip transportation (part by air, part bus), lodging, breakfast and dinner, equipment, a group lesson, and a lift ticket. Also included were gloves, ski pants, and a warm jacket; soldiers in Vietnam didn't have any of these items, and so needed them to be furnished.

At the end of the season, mats were placed on the lower slopes, enabling one to ski to the bottom.

The village offers a free shuttle bus service during winter that links the Valley Terminal, Friday Flat, and the majority of the ski lodges throughout the village.

===Terrain parks===
Thredbo has several terrain parks;
*'''Wombat World'''— a terrain park for younger children, which has a few bumps, fun boxes and arches. Located on Friday Flat.
*'''Merritts Park'''— A terrain park for beginners to intermediates, which contains a few jumps and boxes. It is located at the base of the Cruiser chairlift, and can be accessed from the Merritts Mountain House Restaurant. A T-bar runs from the bottom for escape from this park.
*'''Cruiser Park''' — This park has a series of rails, boxes, big jumps and a picnic table. It is regularly changed to challenge the rider. Located just below the top of "The Cruiser" chair.
*'''Antons Park'''— A terrain park for experienced freestyle skiers and boarders with large jumps, rails and a wall ride. Located on Antons.
*'''Ridercross'''— Changes location from year to year.

===Gunbarrel Express chairlift===
The '''Gunbarrel Express''' is a [[Detachable chairlift|detachable quad chairlift]] in Thredbo. It runs from the Friday Flat beginners area to a point on The Traverse trail roughly halfway between the Central Spur and the Merritts Spur. The lift was constructed in 1988 as part of a thirty million (Australian) dollar investment in the mountain by its new owners, Amalgamated Holdings Limited. It is unique in Thredbo in that it crosses over other lifts, namely the Easy Does It [[Fixed-grip chairlift|fixed-grip]] quad and the Merritts fixed-grip double. This chairlift provides good access to a variety of runs and is convenient to the Woodridge and Friday Flat lodges, as well as major carparks.

Two runs, The Glades and Pegasus, run underneath the higher part of the Gunbarrel Express, with the former running into the latter. The lower half is significantly steeper, with many concealed obstacles, including a creek. It often suffers from only partial cover and is out-of-bounds for most of the season with it only opening up after significant snowfall.

===Merritts Gondola===

Merritts Gondola, built by [[Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group|Doppelmayr]], opened in 2020 and is Australia's first purpose-built Gondola.<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.mountainwatch.com/Snow-news/thredbo-launches-new-merritts-gondola-today/ | title=Thredbo Launches New Merritts Gondola Today ))</ref>  It replaced the previous Merritts Chairlift while quadrupling its capacity, lifting approximately 2,000 people per hour.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.thredbo.com.au/about-thredbo/thredbo-development/|title=Thredbo Development|website=Thredbo|language=en-AU|access-date=2019-10-21))</ref>

==1997 Thredbo landslide==
((Main|1997 Thredbo landslide))

Eighteen people died when the Bimbadeen and Carinya [[Lodging|lodge]]s collapsed at Thredbo Alpine Village at 11:30&nbsp;pm on 30 July 1997. John Cameron, a member of Brindabella Ski Club, and 17 residents of Bimbadeen Ski Lodge lost their lives when Carinya (owned by the Brindabella Ski Club) and Bimbadeen Lodges collapsed when the slope above Carinya Lodge slipped downhill, destroying Carinya. Bimbadeen Staff Lodge was then hit, and it too collapsed. Witnesses reported hearing "a whoosh of air, a crack and a sound like a freight train rushing the hill".((cite this quote|date=September 2013)) The sole survivor, [[Stuart Diver]], was pulled from the wreckage after lying trapped for three days. Stuart was confined to a small space between two concrete slabs where his wife, Sally, drowned beside him in a torrent of water, which Stuart was able to keep his face above.

The landslide was caused by a water leak from a ruptured water pipe that ran alongside the Alpine Road situated above the two lodges. The leaking water pipe caused the ground to become lubricated, allowing the top layer to slip away from the lower part.

Brindabella Ski Club opened its new lodge on 5 June 2004.

==Climate==
The climate of the area is typical of the Snowy Mountains, cold snowy winters and cool summers (summer snow is not unheard-of in Thredbo). Temperatures have ranged from ((convert|-12.8|to|34.8|°C|°F)). According to the [[IBRA]], Thredbo Village has a [[Australian Alps montane grasslands|montane grasslands]] climate, as it lay between ((cvt|1100|m)) and ((cvt|1400|m)) in altitude; closely bordering on subalpine (((cvt|1400|-|1800|m|disp=or))). The village receives an average of 34.9 snowy days annually.<ref>[http://www.australianweathernews.com/snow/Snow%20days%20descending.htm Annual snow days sorted in descending order of average occurrence] by australianweathernews.com</ref> Although the village receives great precipitation, it is relatively sunny due to being [[Southeast Australian foehn|downwind]] of the persistent cloud cover that Victorian resorts often experience, as evident by the lower relative humidity readings in the cooler season.

In [[Köppen climate classification]] Thredbo Village would fit the criteria of having a cool [[oceanic climate]] (''Cfb''), though approaching a [[subpolar oceanic climate]] (''Cfc''); with cool summers and cold, snowy winters; with a lack of temperature extremes.

According to the [[IBRA]], Thredbo Top Station has an Alpine climate, as it lay in excess of ((cvt|1800|m)) above sea level. It is one of the coldest stations on mainland Australia by maximum temperatures, second only to [[Mount Hotham]] which is lower in elevation but more exposed than Thredbo. On average, the Top Station receives 56.9 snowy days annually.<ref>[http://www.australianweathernews.com/snow/Snow%20days%20descending.htm Annual snow days sorted in descending order of average occurrence] by australianweathernews.com</ref>

In Köppen climate classification terms, Thredbo Top Station would fit the criteria of having a [[subpolar oceanic climate]] (''Cfc''); one with short, cool summers and long, cold winters. It is bordering on a [[Subantarctic climate]] (''Dfc''), as the mean temperature in its coolest month approaches ((convert|-3|C)).

Climate data for the area are taken from a station at the village at the bottom of the ski resort and another station at the top of the mountain—some ((convert|577|m|ft|-1)) higher. The Thredbo Top Station is significantly colder than the village and includes some of the lowest temperatures recorded in Australia, including a maximum of ((convert|-6.9|°C|°F)) on 9 July 1978.

On 3 February 2023, Thredbo Top Station reached a maximum of just ((convert|0.1|C)) — its coldest on record for the height of summer.<ref>((Cite web |title=Thredbo Top Station Daily Summaries |url=https://www.weatherzone.com.au/station/SITE/71032/daily-summaries |access-date=2023-02-04 |website=www.weatherzone.com.au |language=en))</ref> The coldest maximum temperature for any summer month was ((convert|-1.0|C)) on 2 December 2019.

==Other sporting activities==

===Thredbo Leisure Centre===
The Thredbo Leisure Centre, opened in 1996, houses a ((cvt|50|m)) and ((cvt|25|m)) indoor swimming pool, wading pool with a waterslide, an inflatable obstacle course (known as the "Mission Inflatable"), two full-size basketball courts, a gymnasium, squash courts, a [[physiotherapy|physiotherapist]] and a traverse climbing wall. It has been used by the many high-profile athletes, including the [[Australian Institute of Sport]] for high-altitude training in the lead up to the 2008 Olympic Games in [[Beijing]].

===Mountain biking===
Since the early 1990s, Thredbo has been popular during the summertime for recreational and competitive [[mountain biking]], attracting serious racers from across Australia and overseas. There are kilometres((Specify|date=September 2013)) of cross country singletrack and firetrail around Thredbo Village, the Thredbo golf course, and other trails connecting Thredbo to its neighbouring villages. Two local businesses operate cross-country mountain bike tours from Thredbo and across the Snowy Mountains region.

Thredbo is host to the world-renowned downhill track, [[the Cannonball Run]], which is accessed by taking the Kosciusko Express Quad-Chairlift up to Eagles Nest. From Eagles Nest, the course runs back to the bottom of the chairlift, ((convert|600|m|ft|adj=pre|vertical)) below. With approximately ((convert|4.2|km)) of fast singletrack, rock gardens, a wall-ride, tight switchbacks and multiple drops and jumps, the Cannonball Run is one of Australia's longest downhill courses. The Cannonball Run is host to many races through the summer months, including national rounds, state rounds, the National Interschools Mountain Biking Competition. Track engineering has made a significant difference to the sustainability of downhill mountain biking in a sensitive alpine environment. Two Gravity Trails have been opened at Thredbo in the past 5((ndash))10 years, the Kosciuszko Flow Trail and the All Mountain Train offering a more varied level of riding from the technical Cannonball. The All Mountain Trail connects the National Parks and Wildlife Service installed Thredbo Valley Track, which follows the course of the Thredbo River from Thredbo Village through Ranger Station, Ngarigo Campgrounds and the Diggings Campgrounds to terminate at Lake Crackenback Resort.

The Thredbo [[Mountain-cross]] track, designed by Glen Jacobs, an Australian trail expert, opened in 2005. It is situated on Friday Flat and comprises a start gate, multiple doubles, rollers, berms, moguls, gaps, step-downs and step-ups. The track has hosted numerous races since its opening including national rounds, state rounds and the National Interschools Mountain Biking Competition.

=== Alpine Coaster ===
Due to open in the winter of 2024, the Alpine (Roller) Coaster<ref>((Cite web |title=Thredbo Alpine Coaster |url=https://www.thredbo.com.au/about-thredbo/development/thredbo-alpine-coaster/ |access-date=2024-04-26 |website=Thredbo |language=en-AU))</ref> is a 1.5km (0.93 mi) track through the Resort. Available year-round and reaching speeds of up to 40km (24.85 mi).

== Thredbo's Sustainability Initiatives ==

=== Certification ===
Thredbo has achieved [[EarthCheck|EarthCheck Sustainable Destinations]] Gold certification, aligning with its commitment to environmental responsibility and climate sustainability.<ref>((Cite web |title=Thredbo Achieves Gold Environmental Standard |url=https://www.thredbo.com.au/blog/2021/thredbo-achieves-gold-environmental-standard/ |access-date=2023-12-04 |website=Thredbo |language=en-AU))</ref> This achievement is part of Thredbo's broader strategy to reduce [[energy consumption]] and [[Greenhouse gas emissions|emissions]], furthering its environmental conservation efforts.<ref>((Cite web |title=Thredbo Comes Together To Make A Difference This Environment Week |url=https://www.mountainwatch.com/Snow-news/thredbo-comes-together-to-make-a-difference-this-environment-week |access-date=2023-12-04 |website=Mountainwatch |language=en))</ref>

=== Waste Reduction Efforts ===
The resort is actively working to diminish its [[Waste management|waste]] generation impacts on the [[Snowy Mountains]] region. Recognising the limitations and environmental drawbacks of landfill waste, Thredbo has set targets to minimise [[Landfill|waste-to-landfill]] by promoting waste avoidance, reuse, and recycling as viable alternatives.<ref>((Cite web |last=Mudge |first=Andy |date=21 July 2023 |title=2026 Sustainability Targets |url=https://cdn.thredbo.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/21152803/2026-Sustainability-Targets-Thredbo.pdf))</ref>

=== Water Management ===
Thredbo's location within the [[Australian Alps]] places it within the catchment areas of significant rivers like the [[Snowy River|Snowy]] and [[Murray River]]s. The resort acknowledges the importance of these water bodies in [[Australia|Australia's]] freshwater system and is committed to responsible water usage. The [[Thredbo River]], a crucial source for the resort's water supply for drinking, washing, and swimming, is a key focus of their water conservation efforts.

=== Measuring Impact: "Person Year" Metric ===
To effectively measure and manage its waste-to-landfill and water usage, Thredbo employs the "Person Year" [[Metric prefix|metric]]. This metric accounts for the amount of time an individual spends in Thredbo, allowing for a consistent annual comparison that takes into account the [[season]]al nature of [[tourism]] in the area. This approach is designed to encourage all residents, staff, and visitors of Thredbo to contribute to waste reduction and efficient water use.
