Brad and Monica from the Thredbo Valley Distillery, makers of Wildbrumby Schnapps, have created a new website to promote the Alpine Way between Jindabyne and Thredbo. Check it out at http://www.fiveminutegallop.com.au/ (http://www NULL.fiveminutegallop NULL.com NULL.au/)
Thredbo and Perisher have combined forces and released “Superski” – a 5 day lift ticket that allows you to ski at both resorts.
The ticket allows you to ski 5 days in a 6 day period. For more info take a look at http://www.superski.com.au/
Kerry advises that she has arranged a number of new stall holders – fresh herbs and vegies, free-range eggs, local honey, two local meat suppliers and many more.
It might be the conditions being wetter than usual but we seem to have more kangaroos than usual getting about at Alpine Habitats. The photo below is of a kangaroo and her joey – these two have been hanging around constantly between the units and often hop right by while you are on the balcony!

A weekend festival pass also includes unlimited rides on the Kosciuszko Express Chairlift. THREDBO’s main chairlift rises 600 vertical metres from the picturesque valley floor to the top of the Ramshead Range, which is the perfect access point for an easy walk to the top of Australia – Mt Kosciuszko.
The end of the rainbow is right here in Crackenback, just across the road from Alpine Habitats!!!
Eboshi reckon they are the only Japanese restaurant between Canberra and Melbourne. They boast a huge range of genuine Japanese beer and sake and the food is great including an awesome kids menu, super fresh sashimi and traditional Japanese dishes.
Mid to late January they are having a beer, sake and degustation night – can’t wait
