The main cause of the 1997 Thredbo landslide was the collapse of the Alpine Way above the town. It was the result of a combination of factors, including wet weather and the way the road had been constructed. The Alpine Way, which runs above the village of Thredbo and through the Snowy Mountains, was originally built as a service road during the construction of the Murray 1 and 2 hydroelectric power stations in the 1950s. After the hydroelectric stations were finished, the road was upgraded, which included the addition of landfill. Around 11:30pm on the night of 30 July 1997, the road collapsed from the pressure of heavy rain, melting snow and the waterlogged landfill, all of which resulted in 2000 square metres of liquefied soil rushing down the mountainside. The Carinya Lodge was pushed down onto the Bimbadeen Lodge, killing 18 staff. See the related link for more detailed information.
Thredbo was named after the nearby Thredbo River, which itself was named after the Aboriginal word for "snow" in the language of the local Indigenous people.
