TBR Water Jump Sessions January to March

27/1/2021

 
Picture
TBR values the importance of building a strong aerial skill base on water and trampoline to maximise on snow performance and minimise the risk of injury. For these reasons, TBR strongly encourages all riders to attend water jump training.

The importance of water jumping cannot be understated.

These days to be competitive at any level of the sport, from Interschools to the Olympics, it is impossible to achieve success without investing in accumulating as many water jump days as possible each year.

TBR water jump sessions are not just about getting upside down for the first time before trying it on snow. Water jumping is the safest way to build your jumping skills from the ground up.

Implemented in Spring 2011, again to encourage new athletes to give Water Jumping a try, any TBR athlete who has not jumped at the facility in the past can receive coaching for free on their first day.

Note: First timer days can only take place on set days. This is due to avoiding peak usage times at the facility, as extra time is required from coaches to help new athletes.

TBR Physical Screenings - Musculoskeletal & functional movement screen

30/12/2020

 
Picture
Due to the success of the functional movement screening program introduced with TBR Mogul Performance Group athletes in 2019/2020.

TBR will be offering the opportunity for ALL TBR athletes to complete a physical screening in 2021.

The skill level of the TBR Mogul Performance Group as a whole is currently at its best ever and a lot of that can be attributed to the individualized screenings and individualized physical training follow up approach in the last 18 months.

How can a screening benefit me?
It has been identified and highlighted by the coaches and support staff of the Australian Freestyle Ski Team that physical competencies play an even larger role in the development of junior freestyle skiers than many believe.

Impressive links have been made in the ability for young child athletes to execute skiing and jumping skills and their physical competencies including functional strength, mobility and coordination.

A specially designed screening process highlights the strengths and weaknesses in the individual athlete from which recommendations can be made to strength and conditioning professionals and physiotherapists who can help young athletes improve upon their weaknesses. The result of this approach can allow young athletes to optimize their body’s ability to improve their skiing and jumping skills.

What is involved in the screening?
A screening typically takes about 20minutes per athlete. The athlete will be asked to perform some specific but basic movements and skills, some of which are measured objectively and others which are recorded on video and analyzed qualitatively for movement efficiency and bilateral variance.

A few days after your screening you will receive a report detailing the findings of the screening including recommendations for seeking specific coaching or therapy to optimize your individual needs.

Booking:
Appointments are available on 4th & 5th January between the hours 11:30 and 2pm.
Please email [email protected] to schedule an appointment.

Screenings will take place at the water jump facility in the green building near the trampolines.

Roxa ski boots to partner with TBR for Winter 21

18/9/2020

 
Picture
Still relatively unknown in Australia, Roxa was originally tasked (in 1980) with assembling ski boots on behalf of the large brands located in the Montebelluna area such as Scarpa and Nordica.  In 2003, Roxa decided to leverage their extensive OEM experience to develop their own series of ski boot molds. This was the early beginnings of the Roxa Ski Boot brand.  
 
The growth of the company drove them to enlarge the factory and invest in new tooling and machinery in order to handle the increasing market demand and to stay ahead of the technology curve.  

As a result, Roxa has become the image of quality, high performance and reliability synonymous with the phrase Made in Italy.  
 
As ski boots are the most important piece of kit, it is for these reasons that Team Buller has endorsed Roxa as program partner for winter 2021 - watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VOakYywnOA  
 
Roxa will be available from all good Victorian boot fitters from early 2021 so be sure to get in touch with your local boot fitter to start the conversation about all things Roxa.  
 
Entertainment - check out “CANCELED // 2020” from Garrett Balen https://vimeo.com/404490013 
 
Featured boots:
* ROXA Element 120 - Freeride/all-mountain - available in 100, 110 and 120 flex, 85 in womens (Trinity) these boots are Perfect for mogul, freeride park and pipe skiers or just that all-mountain skier looking for performance everywhere. 
 
* ROXA R3 130 - This is the complete all round freeride Touring boot built with full tech inserts. The R3 is the lightest boot in its category in the market at just 1.615kg per pair however it remains a powerhouse for freeride skiers looking to charge hard with confidence, it holds firm on the groomers and will even cut a few park laps, truly amazing!  "the best crossover boot I've ever skied" ~ @bernierosow   
 
* Also check out the Roxa Lazer 4 and Roxa RFIT JR. for the Groms.


Mt Buller Season Member Update on 2020 products

12/8/2020

 
Communication sent by Buller Ski Lifts and Mt Buller RMB 12/08/2020
Thank you to everyone who joined us on the slopes during this strange and shortened season.  ­­
 
As you are aware, we were compelled to close the resort to visitors and suspend lift operations from 7 August with the implementation of Stage 3 restrictions by the State government.  To everyone who was unable to use their Season Membership or vehicle permit as planned, we feel your disappointment.
 
Mt Buller is already looking forward to next season and will release 2021 Early Bird season products on 1 September 2020.  At that time, Buller Ski Lifts and the Resort Management Board will make announcements about arrangements in respect of your 2020 season products.
 
Buller Ski Lifts and the Resort Management Board will contact you by email on 1 September and provide further details. There is no need for you to do anything else at this time.

SEASONAL PROGRAMS
Those enrolled in 2020 programs with Snow Squad, TBR and Mt Buller Race Club will be contacted by 1 September with next steps regarding 2020 products.

TBR 2020 Winter Programs Conclude

5/8/2020

 
Dear All,

As announced by the Victorian Premier on the 2nd of August, the introduction of Stage 4 restrictions in the Melbourne metropolitan areas and regional Victoria entering into Stage 3 restrictions our regular TBR programs for the 2020 winter season will regretfully conclude.
 
Stage 3 restrictions in regional Victoria requires the Ski & Snowboard School, Mt Buller Race Club and Team Buller to cease operating all children’s programs from Wednesday 5th August to comply with the Victorian Government and Health Authority guidelines.
 
Next week I will be in contact with families with details of pro rata credits or refunds.

We thank you for your patience as we work through this process.
 
Kind regards,

Andrew Pattison
TBR Program Manager

Snow Australia FUTURES update

18/7/2020

 
Picture
With some uncertainty around the capacity to deliver on-snow FUTURES programs in 2020, Snow Australia is developing a series of online FUTURES Webinars to provide education around the Athlete Pathway for the Snowsport Community.

The first release of webinars will be multi-discipline and open to all athletes and parents, whether you are involved at an Interschools level, part of a Snow Australia Pathway Program Provider, or just curious about the Athlete Pathway in Snowsports.

These will be followed by a series of discipline specific FUTURES webinars containing important information relevant to those disciplines, as well as Q & A opportunities for all participants with a panel of National Team athletes and coaches.

A recording of the first webinar, Intro to the Athlete Pathway, is now available online on the FUTURES webpage. 

Webinar #2, Mental Preparation & Planning, will begin on Tuesday 21st July from 6:00pm – 7:00pm. 

Topics will include:
  • Goal Setting Strategies – Annie Geiger | Snow Australia Para Snowsport Manager
  • Social Media strategy and tips for developing Athletes – Lauren Ryan | Beyond the Break Consulting
  • Q & A with a National Team athlete
You can find out more info and register for each Webinar on the Snow Australia FUTURES webpage: https://www.snow.org.au/pathways/futures/

All Webinars are free of charge with a Snow ID and will be conducted via Zoom.

More information will be posted on the FUTURES webpage in the coming weeks.

2020 Victorian Interschools Cancellation

15/7/2020

 
Picture
It is with great disappointment that Mt Buller and Snow Australia announce the 2020 Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships, scheduled to be hosted on the 9 August and 24 - 30 August 2020, will be cancelled.
 
The Stage 3 restrictions requiring residents of Melbourne and Mitchell Shire to stay at home until at least 19 August, sadly, prevents the majority of the schools and participants preparing with certainty and travelling to Mt Buller as planned.
 
President of Snow Australia, Dean Gosper explained, “The Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championship is a very important week on the calendar for our sport, and a tradition that stretches back to 1958.  It is with much regret we cancel the event.  However, the public health guidelines leave no other option at this time.  We will be working closely with all parties to explore opportunities for Victorian students to enjoy some friendly competition later in the season as conditions permit.”
 
Laurie Blampied, Chair of the Buller Interschools Association added, “Mt Buller has a long and proud history with the Victorian Interschools welcoming thousands of young Victorians to the resort each winter.  We are committed to working together with all stakeholders to provide an opportunity for the school children of Victoria to participate in some competitive skiing and snowboarding and at least have some fun in the sun during spring at Mt Buller.” 
 
Over the coming weeks, Mt Buller and Snow Australia will examine the possibility of hosting some snow sports events in early to mid-September. The status of public health restrictions in late August and early September will determine the format and scale of the events and updates will be shared as the plan is developed.
