The way life is, you get good days and bad days on a skiing holiday. Windy days, blizzard days or just plain rainy days. You can still get a change of scenery at Thredbo without putting on your ski or snowboard gear. So leave the hot chocolate lovers wallowing in their marshmallows and head over to the Thredbo Leisure Centre and get your fit on.
Cobi, the personal trainer is pretty excited about the new changes at Thredbo?s Leisure Centre. ?There are two new olympic trampolines, 2 super sized trampolines and 1 large airbag?.
These are for elite athlete trainers, particularly Thredbo Ski Club and NSW Institute of Sport athletes but are heading for public use shortly, for children?s parties and other recreational use.
The sports hall is open daily from 7am till 7pm for ball games and squash and the indoor rock climbing wall is fair game for anyone wanting to try their hand. ?The indoor rock climbing wall has been upgraded to include a 20? overhang to be more of a challenge to more experienced climbers," Cobi says.

The?swirling water slide and large inflatable obstacle course Mission Inflatable is great fun if you prefer your fun in the water instead of on snow. The waterslide ?is open from 12 noon to 6.30pm daily, handy to know if anyone in your holiday group has a birthday, as it?s a popular spot for parties.

With the Lantern Thredbo Apartment?s great range of self-contained apartments you can still keep up your paleo diet and bring your kale chips to pop under the grill (don?t forget the sea salt and olive oil). Each apartment has clothes washing facilities so there?s no reason to bring three changes of socks. Just wash everything and hang it out. Thredbo is the home of fit and strong. White wonderland outside or not.
