TEAM BULLER RIDERS (TBR)

Team Buller Riders (TBR) is a freestyle skiing & snowboarding club based at Mt Buller, specialising in the Olympic disciplines of mogul skiing, slopestyle/big air (ski and snowboard) and aerial skiing. We have been in operation since 1986.

TBR is set apart from other programs by our genuine passion for the disciplines we operate in. This passion drives our relentless attempt to refine our program structure and coaching technique.

Our unique focus on the maximised all round development of our athletes combined with a strong club history of professionalism, cutting edge training programs and close relationships with the worlds best coaches and athletes is the cornerstone of our continued success at all levels of our sport.

Our focus continues to be based on developing the technical skill platform our athletes require to improve, become the best athlete they can be and to achieve personal best results in competition.

We create a professional, inclusive, understanding, fun and supportive club environment to achieve this platform.

Our coaches are the best riders on the mountain with many past competitors who excel at creating a learning environment that inspires our athletes to be passionate and motivated to improve every day.

Our success over the years is testament to the quality of the programs and support that we offer our athletes.

TBR’s phenomenal achievements include Australia’s four Olympic aerial skiing medals (Alisa Camplin & Lydia Lassila - Gold & Bronze medal each), Australia’s first skiing X-Games Gold medal (Anna Segal), mogul skiing world cup medalists Jakara Anthony & Brodie Summers, 15 Olympians & too many World Cup medals to mention.

A number of legendary Snowboarders have also trained in our program in the past including Scotty James, Robbie Walker, Max Cookes, Luke Trembath (aka the Dingo) and Client Liason's Harvey Miller!

TBR forms an essential part of the Australian Winter Sports Olympic Pathway, closely linked with Snow Australia and the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia (OWIA). These relationships provide our athletes with access to some of the best program design, coaching and training facilities in the world.
