We’ve just celebrated the opening weekend of the 2014 ski season, which would not be complete without the Blessing of the Snow at Thredbo Chapel.

Five faith leaders blessed the snow and prayed for safety on the mountain this year, and for all those who enjoy the winter at Thredbo; guests, staff, patrollers alike.

In attendance were members of the public, members and trainees of the TSPA, and senior Thredbo staff.

We were also advised that man-made snow is not ‘man-made’, given that the conditions for its manufacture are governed by a higher-power!
