Thredbo management recently gave guru park builder Charles Beckinsale the go ahead to build a world class jump for the local crew to session. Local skiers Boen Ferguson, Jordan Houghton, Charlie Timmins and Californian import Bernie Rosow were eager as ever to session such a good jump so early in the season!

Having the ability to train on a world class jump at their home mountain is imperative for Jordan, Charlie and Boen who all plan to join Russ Henshaw (internationally acclaimed Australian pro-skier) on the World Cup Slopestyle circuit next northern hemisphere winter. The results of that World Cup season will determine qualification for Sochi 2014.

Tricks of the day were a mixture of dub corked 1080's and a few 12's for good measure!

Bernie Rosow is a well known skier from Mammoth Mountain in California, he has made Thredbo his home resort for the northern off season

Charlie Timmins is a Jindabyne local who is part of Australia's slopestyle chance for Sochi 2014

Boen Ferguson will be hoping to ward off anymore injury after a pretty bad run. He has the skills to be a medal chance for Australia in Russia

Jordan Houghton's big air act gets more impressive every year and he'll rattle a few internationals at the upcoming One Hit Wonder in Thredbo
