Have you thought about doing a Finnair mixed class fare? Should be around $4k to do SYD-SIN in QF Y and then SIN-HEL-MUC in AY J. I think it's 3.5k to just do SIN-HEL in J and the rest in Y.
I have been to MUC a few times to snowboard Innsbruck. My favourite resort is the Stubai Glacier. It's a shame that no OW carrier flies into Innsbruck as the drive to and from MUC is a bit of a long one in bad weather or traffic.
Do BA still offer the free side trip to Europe when you purchase a WTP+ ticket?</font>
I had a look at the Finnair mixed class option but it's around $1000 more than WT+. The Finnair/Qantas J fare is not a bad option if someone wants to fly Business Class though. My father and his wife are flying to Europe in May (QF MEL-SIN-CDG, AY MUC-HEL-BKK, QF BKK-SYD) in Business all the way, for $6370.
The Thredbo course is at Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Alpbach (near Woergl) and Ellmau (near Kufstein), so it's reasonably easy to get to from Munich. I haven't skied in Austria yet, but skied last year at L'Espace Killy (Val d'Isere and Tignes). Looking forward to it.
I think the side trip LHR-MUC is inclusive, as the WT+ fare covers a number of European cities in addition to London.
