TBR: SNOWBOARD - RETURNING IN 2019

TBR SNOWBOARD HEAD COACH - Jarryd Williams

After a successful return last year to Snowboard operations, we are excited to announce that TBR Snowboard is back again for 2019.

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.
Jarryd Williams – TBR Snowboard Head Coach
Jarryd Williams is as good as it gets in Australian Park & Pipe Coaching.  He has spent 8 years on the Australian Snowboard Team competing at World Cup level in both Slopestyle and Halfpipe.  Prior to this Jarryd represented Australia in Boarder Cross at the Junior World Championships. 

Jarryd has since turned his talents to coaching and has previously run the TSC Snowboard Program at Mt Buller in addition to his current overseas role coaching Australian high performance athletes in Colorado, USA, with the Winter Performance Institute.

With World Cup experience in both racing and freestyle disciplines, Jarryd is a firm believer that strong fundamental skills must form the foundation of freestyle riding.

To sum it up – Jarryd is a gun and we couldn’t be more excited to have him back as the TBR Head Snowboard Coach for 2019.
