Snow Park is the best freestyle specific resort in the world!

Is that too much? OK. Perhaps the best freestyle resort in the world! Maybe considering Snow Summit might complain about me creating a ranking system that is just an opinion but hey what the hell. Snow Park is about as strange of a place as you will ever find on earth. A place where there is normally not much if not no natural snow and yet perfect parks, pipes, gaps, quarters, boxes, stair rails and so on and so on. And now they even have a gondola under construction to get you up there so you don't have to drive the sketchy road to get to it. They have accommodation on the mountain - pimp and not so pimp - they have a bar, a chairlift and one of the best park builders in the business.

The Kiwi team for The Bledisnow Cup decider has been confirmed by Captain Will Jackways. With a team this strong looks like the Aussies will be kept well in check by the Kiwis. With a few big Maoris on the squad the front line definitely has a lot of strength backed up with an unpredictable back line of under 16s under 18s grommets this is a match that could easily go either way. There is a shit load of experience behind the Kiwi Cpatain Will Jackways and the godfather of New Zealand snowboarding Quentin Robbins so a good team all round.

All they need to do is not injure themselves all on the first day and it should be a great match.

Game on!

Well as Stylewars Snow Park is the decider to The highly fought after Trans Tasman Snowboarding series 'The BlediSnow Cup' Australia has put forward its strongest possible line up. The Kiwis are shaking in their bindings at this stage and are yet to finalise their competition start list. Captain for the Australian squad, Nick Gregory yesterday commented on the team he is taking to defend the Bledisnow Title. "The Kiwis are good for sure and will play strong in their own backyard but the Aussie team has a lot of talent and determination and will really stoop to any level to beat the kiwis at their holy ground of Snow Park. I really can't see New Zealand taking the title from us this year. It has been in Australian hands for the past 3 years and we are getting pretty used to it so think we will keep it no matter what".

Rules are:
