Established in the 1950's, Guthega was initially a small resort with a handful of lodges, a few lifts and limited number of skiers and boarders who were prepared to deal with the more extreme driving conditions.
It was in 1982 that the Car Park Chairlift was installed which enabled skiers and boarders to reach more of the resort, making Guthega a lot more appealing. There is a reason why locals love getting to Guthega and end up spending most of their day there. Guthega has some unique on-snow restaurants such the Burning Log and BASECAMP Cafe in the Guthega Mountain Centre, new in 2021, as well as on-snow lodging options.
The terrain ranges from Green, Blue, Double Blue and some Blacks for the more advanced skiers and boarders. With breath-taking panoramic views of the Kosciuszko mountain range, don't be surprised to see people stopped on the side of a run to grab a quick picture of the view.
