Thredbo Resort hosted the second stop of the Thredbo Triple Crown presented by Boost Mobile today, with the Australian New Zealand Cup (ANC) slopestyle event lighting up the Antons Terrain Park.
Following a week of consistent snowfall, athletes were treated to a morning of blue skies, crisp conditions, and light winds - setting the scene for a day of big tricks and fierce competition.
Elite athletes competed in the custom-built park, chasing valuable FIS points and the chance to climb the ranks on the international stage. From technical rail work to massive airs, the level was sky-high all day long.
As the sun set on a massive day, it was Tiarn Collins standing tall on the snowboard podium for the open men’s category from Josh Li and Zephyr Lovelock take.
In the women’s open snowboard, Mela Stalker placed first from Ally Hickman and Jess McGregor.
In the ski category, Fergus McArthur, Lucas Ball and Aidan Lang topped the men’s results, with Daisy Thomas, Madeleine Disbrowe and Indra Brown claiming the podium for the women.
With one more FIS-sanctioned Triple Crown stop to come, the stage is now set for the Big Air finale on August 25 at Thredbo - a must-see event where progression and style will be on full display.
