Late June/early July and late August/early September will being optimal snow conditions with fewer crowds.
This is before the peak season starts, which is also outside of school holiday periods - some of the busiest times at Australia's snow resorts.
While the absolute best conditions for snow at Thredbo are mid-July to mid-August, travelling just before or just after this time will reward you with similar conditions, but cheaper accommodation in the area as there's less demand for the limited accommodation in Thredbo Village.
If you're after the perfect snow conditions, your best bet is to travel in July and August. These are the two coldest months at Thredbo where overnight temperatures will drop below freezing, optimal for snowfall.
August sees the second-highest amount of precipitation throughout the year meaning you may get lucky with fresh snow on the trails.
Being much cooler than the rest of Australia during the summertime, December to February, is best. Expect pleasant temperatures that peak 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.
While there are a host of walking tracks in the area, the iconic 4km trek up Mount Kosciuszko is covered in snow from around June to October and there are no poles marking the route when it's covered.
If you're looking for the cheapest time to go skiing and enjoy the snow at Thredbo at Thredbo, visit in June or September. Thredbo usually opens the first week in June and is open until mid-late September. While the conditions will likely be a bit slushy with limited runs open, there are often early bird specials and packages available this time of the season where you can save a bundle.
The overall cheapest time to visit would likely be May and November, as less demand means you'll find some of the best prices on accommodation at Thredbo Village as it's between the snow season and peak hiking season.
