Top junior talent in action at the 2018 jNats

9/8/2018

Australia’s best junior freestyle talent has put on an impressive show in difficult conditions at the 2018 Junior National Mogul Championships (jNats) at Mt Buller.

Unfortunately bad visibility reduced the competition from one to two runs, but in a test to each athletes mental resolve, they stepped and gave their best in the difficult conditions.

The course for this year’s event was one of the best, featuring 200m of moguls and two table top jumps.

Such a high-quality course is often not seen on Chamois until late in the season and comes on the back of the Olympic Training Centre agreement, summer earth works, early season snowfalls and snowmaking.

The event attracted over 80 athletes from Mt Buller, Falls Creek and Mt Hotham, competing across two separate age groups. Winners of the Junior division (19 and under) took away $600 cash from Mark Adams Real Estate, with the Youth division (13 and under) winning $200. All podium athletes received prizes from Bolle.

Many thanks to the event sponsors, Mark Adams Real Estate, Bolle and especially Mt Buller.

Entries open for the 2018 jNats (Saturday August 4)

25/7/2018

On the back of strong early snowfalls, snowmaking and summer earth works we are set for the best course yet at the 2018 jNats at Mt Buller.

A full-length course is expected, over 200m in length and two jumps, for some of the country’s hottest young talent to show their stuff on the Olympic Training Centre course.

In addition to the exciting facility development over the summer, we also welcome a new sponsor to the event – Mark Adams Real Estate!

Mark Adams Real Estate will supply cash prizes, and long-time Team Buller sponsor Bolle will also be providing product for the winner in each category.

The event is sure to be spectacular! So make sure you don’t miss it on Saturday August the 4th.

TBR Mogul and Grom Coaches will be on course at the jNats course all day to coach on the competition day.

Head Injury Safety Policy

16/6/2018

Freestyle skiing is a sport where concussion is a high risk. Australia’s elite freestyle skiing athletes are mandated to complete baseline concussion tests every year so that if they ever take a knock to the head the diagnosis of concussion can be fast and simple.

If an athlete has completed a baseline concussion test before an injury occurs, then they will be a step ahead of in easier and faster diagnosis and recovery from concussion if they do get an injury to the head.

Ski and Snowboard Australia (SSA) has come up with an affordable way for club level skiers to be concussion tested. SSA members are now entitled to a huge discount on HeadSmart’s online testing system. (only $15 for the baseline test and for any retest if you require one).

It is compulsory for ALL TBR athletes to complete a baseline test annually. This must be completed before the commencement of any TBR training program.
