Transfer | Banked Slalom

The concept of The Transfer Banked Slalom is relatively simple: pile a bunch of snow up into banks in a snake-run-like formation, invite friends, pack in a few beers and let the good times roll. This event embodies the very essence of snowboarding.

Thanks to the unprecedented success of the inaugural ‘Tournament of Turns’, the 2nd Annual Transfer Banked Slalom is back with vengeance in 2015. In terms of participation, last year’s event was the largest snowboarding event in the Southern Hemisphere. We’ve been thrown a bone this year, and will be packing the event into two days of peace, love and boardin’. Don’t worry though, we’ll be keeping it independent and true to tradition – this is one event FIS won’t be getting their hands on. New and exciting plans for the course are coming to light, and a total ruckus will take place on the Saturday night, with live performances by some very fitting bands. Rest assured, the banks will be back and the ‘Tournament of Turns’ will triumph again.

Last year the event sold out in record time, so to avoid disappointment we feel it’s necessary to enforce the urgency of registering early. A full run-down of event categories is available below, as well as a link to the Thredbo E-store where tickets can be purchased. Please note, the event categories have been capped, so ensure that you register in the correct division at the time of purchase.

The Banked Slalom is made possible with the support of our friends: Thredbo Resort, Goal Zero, Mizu, Corona, Quiksilver, Roxy and Lib Tech
