FRIDAY 15TH – TRANSFER BANKED SLALOM & BOARDSTOCK
It all kicks off with the Transfer Banked Slalom on the Friday, make sure to make your way to VT Guest Services from 7:30am-8:30am to collect your race plate and transponder, then proceed to the all new course location…Playground located in the Cruiser Area.
The day will be filled with thrills, spills and chills…make sure to come dressed in your best Bathurst 1000 outfit…there’s a trip to Mammoth Mountain up for grabs for the person who embodies the spirit of the event the most…hit those op shops now!
Once the Banked Slalom comes to an end on the mountain, the Volcom pro skate team are putting on a demo at the Thredbo Skatepark for what will be 2 hours of board riding you don’t want to miss. At 6pm in the Schuss Bar the Banked Slalom presentations will take place over a couple of drinks, directly followed a movie screening hosted by Volcom that showcases all of their early films and core contribution to snowboarding.
SATURDAY 16TH – BOARDSTOCK & SAUSAGEFEST
Come and enjoy a day of nothing but peace, love & snowboarding thanks to Volcom and Rad. Volcom have brought their entire team of skaters, surfers and snowboarders to make a whole bunch of noise and good times across the resort on Saturday.
It all starts in the Antons terrain park from 9am with a specially built terrain park filled with all of the features you dream of at night…from mini shred transition hits, rails, jump and bumps you’ll struggle to find time to go straight.
Don’t worry about getting mum to pack lunch also, there will be a huge BBQ on the day for everyone to shove a couple of sausages into the stomach to keep the energy levels high for the after party!
From 4pm, make sure to head directly to the Bistro Balcony for beers and live music from The Goons of Doom & Blister…get ready to rock out because there’s no holding back for these guys!
Don’t worry the party doesn’t just suddenly end, head downstairs to the Heller Keller Bar from 9pm to party away into the night alongside some of our favourite DJ’s at the official Boardstock after party…good vibes only.
SUNDAY 17TH – SQUAD SHRED DAY
Conditions are looking perfect for Sunday with nothing but blue skies and minimal winds…deal with the hangover and round up the squad for what will be an awesome day riding with all of the Volcom team around the resort.
