TBR: SNOWBOARD

TBR SNOWBOARD HEAD COACH - Jarryd Williams

After a successful return to Snowboard operations in 2018, we are excited to announce that TBR Snowboard is back again for 2020, and due to popular demand, have expanded our program options to include full time training and the TBR Friday option.

TBR Snowboard will focus on the Olympic disciplines of Slopestyle and Big Air, aiming to provide snowboarders with the fundamental skills and World-class training facilities to take their riding to the next level.

We truly believe we have the passion, the coaching and the facilities to support and grow the next generation of Australian Winter Olympic Snowboard Athletes! 
 
Olympic Training Centre Facilities at Mt Buller!
Last year a landmark partnership was reached between the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia, Ski & Snowboard Australia, Buller Ski Lifts, and the Mt Buller & Mt Stirling Resort Management Board, to develop world class facilities in the freestyle ski and snowboard disciplines.

TBR Snowboard athletes will have access to:
  • TBR Big Air aerial site on Chamois ski run, with new night time jumping sessions to be added in 2019, following the installation of permanent lighting on the run.
  • Buller Air Zone Trampoline Facility

Training will also take place regularly in Buller’s famed MBP parks and freeriding around the mountain.
