Chillfactor, Australia’s premiere snowsports magazine, is back for its 26th year with stories, photos and mountain characters from home and overseas, designed and printed using the highest quality production values.

On the local front we chat to Finn Jacobsen and Jasper Rogers, two of Australia’s best junior freeride skiers and Billy Lloyd-Blainey takes us along for his ski journey from stoked grom to launching the first double backflip across the Charlotte Pass Road Gap last winter.

 

We also talk to Charles Beckinsale about the challenges he faced building the huge big air and Superpipe in Thredbo and take an overnight spring tour to Kosciuszko,

On the travel front we head to Japan for one of the deepest seasons ever in Hakuba, take a road trip along British Columbia’s famous Powder Highway and hit the legendary big mountain terrain of Chamonix and Alaska.
