Karel's T-Bar in Australia's Thredbo Ski Resort pays tribute to Karel Nekvapil, a beloved figure in the local community. Karel's journey began in 1948 when he fled Czechoslovakia to join his wife Sasha, a Czech national ski champion who had defected after competing in the 1948 Olympics. Their remarkable story enriches the history of the ski lift, symbolising their enduring contributions to Thredbo's ski culture.
After 21 years in Thredbo, Karel and Sasha moved to their farm on the Alpine Way in 1980, where Karel remained until his passing in 1993. Despite a skiing injury in 1961 that ended his racing career, Karel remained passionate about the sport and dedicated himself to supporting children's skiing. He was a founding member of the Thredbo Ski Racing Club in 1972 and its first patron in 1979.
Today, Karel's T-Bar lift, situated high above Thredbo Village, is a lasting tribute to his legacy. It also marks Australia's highest lifted point.
