The second stop of the Thredbo Triple Crown presented by Boost Mobile went down today, with the 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 threw down 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, the snowboard podium saw Tiarn Collins, Josh Li and Zephyr Lovelock take top honours in the Open Men’s category, while Mela Stalker, Ally Hickman and Jess McGregor led the charge for the Women. 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 – a must-see event where progression and style will be on full display.
