This Saturday afternoon FreeBOM returns. FreeBOM exists to remind us that we can dance down the footpath, ride a chairlift like a roller coaster and share a smile with a stranger. FreeBOM asks competitors and spectators alike to dress up, free their animal spirit and celebrate a day on Mt Buller with skiing and music.  

Sign Up Online
We encourage all athletes and parents to sign up and enter either as a skier or official spectator. Please visit www.freebom.ski to enter.
 
AprèsBOM
Along with the festivities on Wood Run, there will also be an after party - AprèsBOM on Bourke Street near the ABOM. Inspired by a European après ski vibe there will be music and twilight skiing. The afterparty kicks off after the skiing on Wood Run until 8pm. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
 
Volunteer
We are looking for people to help set up and pack up the site on Wood Run. If you would like to volunteer please contact Watkin ([email protected]) or Patto.
 
Film
This year we are producing a wrap video of the event that is a compilation of everyone's footage. If you would like to contribute footage to the official FreeBOM video please film on your phone or camera some of the action as you see it. Then simply upload it to this dropbox.

The 2017 Junior National Mogul Championships “jNats”, took place last Sunday in great conditions at Mt Buller, featuring a strong field delivering some fantastic mogul skiing on the Chamois ski run.

With 98 athletes entered to compete in the event from Mt Buller, Mt Hotham and Falls Creek, the competition for podium positions was always going to be fierce.

Two divisions were on offer, with the Junior category for skiers 19 and under and the Youth category for under 13. Bounce Inc provided prize money for the winners and Bolle giving goggles for all podium athletes.

In the Junior division, Angus Cronin-Guss was the standout athlete in the men’s event with a strong performance to record a clear victory. Paris Speirs and Eleanor Mullins had a close battle in the women’s division, with Paris taking the win.

In the Youth category, Edward Hill put down an impressive first run to hold off Mt Hotham competitors Tristan Rowley and Will Atwell. Indi Speirs made it a double women’s victory for the Speirs family with first place in the Youth women’s division.

Special recognition was also given to under 10 women’s competitors Lucy Butler and Esther Foley who qualified for the top-15 final against older athletes.  

Congratulations also to the Hill Family with all three children winning medals on the day.

Many thanks to event sponsors Bounce Inc, Bolle and Buller Ski Lifts for their great support.
