spring throwdown

Our Spring Throwdown weekend was an eventful one, there were thrills, spills and a lot of rain. On Saturday Mt Buller, TBR and Roxy hosted the premier Chicks with Stix Freeride Event: The Spring Throwdown on the lower half of Chamois.

Despite the torrential rain and sticky snow, chicks of all ages came out and threw-down. It was exciting to see so many keen girl skiers out, ready to take on the elements.

The judges were awed with the agressive skiing and massive airtime that the lady competitiors displayed.





The overall results were as follows:

CHICKS JUNIOR

1ST  TORIE HAMILTON-WILSON
2ND PIP SPARROW
3RD LOUISE PENNINGTON

CHICKS YOUTH

1ST ALLIE HORIE
2ND TORI HILL
3RD CLAUDIA GUELI




All the winners took home an amazing array of prizes care of Roxy, including a long board snapped up by Torie Hamilton-Wilson.

As well as awesome skiing there were also some epic crashes in the repitoire- including an amazing front flip out of the double-stager by Pip Sparrow and some great ski ballet splits performed by Lucy Elam.

Thanks to all the girls who came out and braved the weather- you all did an amazing job as well -as a huge clap for Zoe Jaboor and all the Chicks with Stix team for pulling the comp together in such a crazy storm.
