Rekorderlig Poolside Apres Bar

Overview

Winter is here! The 2013 ski season officially launched last weekend and Thredbo's claim to the winter social scene got a boost — introducing the Rekorderlig Poolside bar at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel. This little piece of Aspen high life, nestled into the NSW heart of the Snowy Mountains, invites you to bask in its heated pool, your favourite Swedish cider, fire pits, world-class DJs, heaters and beanbags.

The bar will be operational over June weekends, Thursday to Saturday (all weekends are long this close to Mount Kosciuszko — it's an altitude thing), and then open nightly for the July leg of the season. Rekorderlig ciders are the order of the day, along with daily drink specials, and if you buy two winter ciders, they will shout you a pair of boardies (imagine how many pairs you could have by August). Plus, after you have soaked out all those first-day aches, you can dry off with one of the provided towels and get prepped for Thredbo after dark.

Sydney DJ Abel El Toro, took out first night honours on the poolside turntables last Saturday, bringing his brand of Ibiza beats to the ski slopes. If that is any indication of nights to come, Rekorderlig Poolside should shape up to be the perfect Thredbo icebreaker.
