The sight of a new $9 million alpine coaster was a welcome distraction from otherwise bare and drizzly ski slopes over Thredbo’s opening weekend.
The sight of a new $9 million alpine coaster – and a chaser of the biggest fireworks display of the season – were welcome distractions from otherwise bare and drizzly ski slopes over Thredbo’s opening weekend.
Some of the changes guests can expect this season are a result of an expansion of the resort’s snowmaking, grooming and parks-building fleets, specifically the replacement of its pipeline snowmaking gun, three new fan guns near the Kosciuszko chairlift base, and two new snowcats.Of course, the 1.5-kilometre-track mountain coaster is the star attraction this season. Rides begin with a 410-metre ascent before a heart-pumping 1.
EVT chairman Alan Rydge and Thredbo general manager Stuart Diver cut the ribbon at the Alpine Coaster launch event.
