The penultimate event of the 2017 Thredbo Snow Series is the Slopestyle. With it’s inclusion in the Olympics the already popular event is going from strength to strength. To provide the best course possible the jump and the rail elements were held separate with 2 runs on each. The best jump run and the best rail run for each competitor was combined to give the overall Slopestyle score. With less pressure to link 4 tricks consecutively, competitors could relax a little focusing on 2 tricks at a time.

The Toyota One Hit Wonder Mountain Festival is taking over Thredbo again from Tuesday the 5th of September through to Saturday the 9th and is set to be one huge week!

Returning in 2017 after a 4 year hiatus the Thredbo Snow Series welcomes back the Freeride on the Bluff… and what a return! The steep face of the Bluff was stacked after the Blizzard of Oz and the Blizzard of Oz 2.0. So much snow that many of the favourite features were actually filled in. With less options to choose from big air and tricks were the order of the day, as opposed to technical lines through the rocks… there’s not many rocks left up there! With one judged run to decide the winners, competitors had to negotiate the variable visibility and put it all on the line.

Thredbo’s Friday Flat stair set and Jye Kearney hosted a rail jam of epic proportions for 10 of the best snowboarders in the Southern Hemisphere! With over 200 stoked spectators in attendance, Dj Luke Oz spinning the decks and Jye’s special alcoholic juice, the riders and crowd put on an absolute shred show…it sure was a night to remember.

The Thredbo Snow Series continued on Wednesday with the always entertaining Ridercross going down on High Noon. Cash prizes, bags of swag, bragging rights and points towards the overall series were up for grabs.

In 2004 a 17 year old Ryan Tiene blipped on the snowboard world’s radar, taking down international riders of note and winning the Stylewars event. It seemed the fresh faced youngster had a long competitive career ahead of him… X Games awaits we all thought.

The Torah Bright Mini shred went off with an absolute bang yesterday with over 250 grommets turning out for what they were describing as the #BestDayEver.

The beast that is the Thredbo Snow Series kicked off on Friday night under lights. As well as taking out the Night Rails event, points towards the overall series were up for grabs.

Thredbo’s very own, Toyota One Hit Wonder Mountain Festival just got a whole lot more exciting with the inclusion of snowboarders this year! It’s all …

Every year Thredbo Parks’ soldiers don the overalls and prepare our fleet of features to ready them for battle. After a winter of use and a summer of storage, the features are pretty beat up… some serious TLC is required! Rust is removed, welds repaired, panels replaced and fresh coats of paint applied.
