Thredbo Resort has just confirmed that Friday Flat will be open for skiing and snowboarding this Opening Day, Saturday June 7, with Easy Does It Chairlift, Magic Carpets and a hike park. Thanks to the snowmaking team, the first laps of the season are on for Opening Day. With over 50cm of fresh snow in the forecast, the mountain operations crew is working hard to open additional terrain as soon as conditions allow.
