Thredbo is a snowy wonderland during winter from June to September and a haven for hiking, biking and horseback riding during the warm dry months from November to February.
The best time to visit Thredbo for snow on a budget is either late June or early September. Being the shoulder season, you'll still get snow but without the "snow-tax" or school holiday crowds.
For perfect snow conditions, visit in July and August. They're the 2 coldest months in Thredbo where overnight temperatures drop below freezing – so there's a good chance you will wake up with fresh powder on the trails. Bear in mind, that it falls right in the middle of the Aussie winter school break and is one of the busiest times on the Australian slopes.

Snow can start to fall as early as May and tails off in September or October. July and August often have the highest snowfall of the year. If snow is falling in July, it's a good bet that you're in for a great snow season.
Thredbo opens for the season over the Queen's Birthday June long weekend and closes in late September to early October.
June and September are the shoulder seasons where the runs are quiet as the snowfall is not too heavy yet.
Thredbo usually opens the first week in June and closes mid-late September.
While the conditions will likely be slushy and only a limited number of runs will be open, there are often early-bird specials and packages that can save you a bundle.
Being much cooler than the rest of Australia during the summertime, December to February is best. Expect pleasant temperatures between 20-22 degrees.
These are also some of the driest months of the year, so you have much less of a chance of getting caught in the rain during your hike.
November and March offer cool weather and low prices, though many accommodations may be closed since it's the off-season. Check out the latest Thredbo deals.
