Another great week in Thredbo

Posted on 14 Aug, 2016 in Festivals & Events

As we come to the end of another great week, we look back on the main events that went down both on and off the mountain.

The Australian FIS Championships kicked off on Monday, with some of Australia’s best racers showing up to compete in the GS and Slalom races being held throughout the week.

Saturday came around quickly and before we knew it, it was time for the 3rd Annual Transfer Banked Slalom…. but the weather wasn’t playing ball and unfortunately due to low visibility, high winds and a rather icy course, the wise decision was made to postpone the event until Sunday.

Nevertheless, there was still plenty to look forward to, with free live music across the resort thanks to Coke and The Corona Concert Series where The Paper hearts, Lime Cordiale and Jungle Giants provided some great entertainment in the Village Square to keep the party going through until Sunday.

Luckily with improvements in the weather the Banked Slalom was able to go ahead, with over 200 snowboarders competing for the title. There were riders dressed in all sorts of crazy attire, with boarders pushing it to the limit on the custom made course. The fun was endless, with big stacks, big smiles and big turns.

As we set our sights to next week we are in for a mostly sunny start with some flurries expected later on but with plenty happening both on and off the mountain and great conditions top to bottom there is no better time to get down here.
