Imagine if Australia were to host the Winter Olympic Games across Perisher, Smiggins, Thredbo, Mt Selwyn and Mt Hotham.

In part 2 we dream up what is still needed for a true Aussie Winter Olympics: a hospital in Jindabyne, more lifts, more chalets, a buzzing nightlife, snow and ice sculptures, an alpine stadium, and even a Koala Fun Run. Big ideas for a bold winter Down Under!

Imagine if Australia were to host the Winter Olympic Games across Perisher, Smiggins, Thredbo, Mt Selwyn and Mt Hotham.

In this episode, we take a fun dive into how Australia has evolved from a summer sports nation to a Winter Olympics contender, celebrating Olympic legends Steven Bradbury and Jakara Anthony along the way. We explore the quirky history of Smiggin Holes, from cattle grazing origins to its tongue-in-cheek Olympic bid and uncover why Perisher and Blue Cow stand as Australia’s alpine playground. From the best runs and après-ski spots to the uniquely Aussie vibe of skiing in shorts and sunshine, this is winter Down Under like you’ve never heard it before.
