The Snow has been falling in Thredbo again and again and the shovels are really getting a workout. (To see Ian hard at work on the end of a shovel go to youtube.) With the best August snowfalls in the Snowy Mountains for quite a few years, this spring is shaping up to be a beauty. We have some excellent value spring specials so why not make the most of the snow with one of these offers:
Kids Free Specials starting from September the 10th. These offers include discounted accommodation and with each paying adult 1 child receives a free lift pass (conditions apply). This package is available through Blue Powder Tours for all of our properties so click here for more info on this offer or send a booking request direct to Blue Powder tours or call Mick or Drew direct on 02 99071027
Book a holiday any time from 17 September 2010 and you can pay for two nights and stay for 3 with our new Spring Snow Play Special. You don’t have to be a skier or a snow boarder to enjoy a trip to the snow and with this special offer you don’t need a bank loan either. There will be snow in Thredbo right through the Spring School Holidays and the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift keeps running even when the other ski lifts close. If you are looking for something different to do with the kids in the Spring Holiday then bring them to Thredbo to play in the snow.
This offer is available with most of our apartment types and if you want to stay for longer you can pay for four nights and stay for six. To book these specials , call 1800 020 598 or go to www.lantern.com.au
August 2010 Aeropelican Air Services is delighted to announce the schedule of its all year around service from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains (Cooma). Since the beginning of the operation in June 2010 both local communities and the tourism industry have shown encouraging support to the air service. “Over the first nine weeks of operation we have seen solid patronage from the local business community, especially Monday to Friday, which is a positive indicator of the level of support we can expect for an all year round service” said Fabrice Binet, Aeropelican Route Development Manager. “Recent visits to government departments, tourism operators and major business entities have highlighted the need for an all year round air service for business travel to Sydney as well as facilitating the return of health specialists in the Valley” said Mr Binet.
The Flights will run daily from Sydney at 13:10 and depart Snowy Mountains at 14:50. This is great news for our summer season visitors with an airport shuttle to Thredbo meeting each flight.

It’s not over til the fat white guy with a carrot for a nose melts! Up until the first day of August we were all wondering whether there would be a decent snow fall this season. However three days into the month and a metre of snow later the village was buzzing with tales of Sunday afternoon powder skiing. The conditions have been great since and there is now a good cover of snow right across Thredbo and the Main Range in the Kosciuszko National Park. (See my video of a scenic flight across the range for an awesome perspective of the Australian Alps in winter.)
The best news is that more snow is on the way this week and we still have a few gaps for this coming weekend so BOOK NOW or call 1800 020 598.
