  • Find your child’s level here to ensure they are placed in the right lesson.
• Weekends and Peak Periods: If you plan to pick up the MyThredbo Card or rental before the lesson, please leave sufficient time to do so. Please note, during peak holiday and weekend periods in-resort wait times may be lengthy (up to 45 minutes).
• NSW Active Kids Vouchers cannot be used on the Freeriders, Burton Riglets, Thredboland and 5 Day Adventure Camps.
• Late Arrivals: We do our best to accommodate late arrivals. This can often mean returning and joining the group after lunch. With children at Level 1, it is sometimes not possible to accommodate late arrivals on the day, due to the group advancing beyond Level 1 at the start of the day.

• Skis or snowboard and boots
• MyThredbo Card with lift pass loaded – Double check your child has their MyThredbo Card in a pocket as high as possible on the left side of their jacket for ease of lift access.
• Helmets are required
• Waterproof, insulated jacket and pants
• Layers underneath
• Ski or snowboard socks
• Gloves/mittens and goggles
• Neck warmer (doubles as a face covering)
• Goggles
• It would be ideal for children to pack a small snack in their pocket for the lesson. All snacks are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

Your child should arrive dressed wearing their boots and ready to go.

Please note ski poles are generally not required for children learning to ski and are introduced at an intermediate level.
