Kosciusko Summit Hike
There are also a number of walks to the summit of Mount Kosciusko in the area. The easiest is from the top of the chairlift (although a walking path under the lift is also an option). We took this option (and walked rather than took the lift).

Thredbo Accommodation
We stayed at the YHA hostel in the heart of the ski village. It was modern, had a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable and large common area and nice double rooms with shared bath. This is not a party hostel. This is a chilled out spot to enjoy the views, surf the internet and relax before and after hitting the slopes.
