Thredbo is excited to announce that the Thredbo Freeride Series is now part of the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour.
Thredbo Terrain Park Manager, Charles Beckinsale, is stoked. "The Thredbo Freeride Series is increasing in popularity and now with TTR on board, it adds a new dimension to the snowboarding side of the competition and will draw Australian big names into the series" said Beckinsale.
This is a great opportunity for young Australian talent to be recognised on the international ranking system and gain world circuit points. As an international ranked snowboarder, young talent can attract sponsors and launch an elite snowboarding career. TTR General Manager, Alex Doerr, is looking forward to the joint venture.
"We are happy to have the established Thredbo Freeride Series onboard for the first time this season to strengthen the Southern hemisphere leg of the Tour and give riders the opportunity to collect TTR ranking points. The Thredbo Freeride Series plays a vital role for the Australian snowboard community and is a strong partner for the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour" he said
