In this video we're snowboarding for the first time in Thredbo, Australia. Thredbo has some of the highest peaks in all of Australia. We bought the Ikon pass so that we could snowboard here as well as many other resorts across north america and Japan. Our first day snowboarding at Thredbo didn't work out too well, as we ran into high winds and rain. Our second day the winds had calmed down and we decided to do a hike into the alpine. This is our first snowboard hike in Australia and it reminded us of the freedom you feel in the mountains. Thanks for watching!

As others have said a little to late boys the snow melts out and washes out quick in Aus even after a descent season! Good to see you guys sripping our alpine 🤙🤙🤙

If you snowboard down the trail where the park is just behind the cruiser chairlift where you got stuck you can go down a cat track (it is roped off but it is also the coolest run on the mountain)

@nizam_mr 5 жыл бұрын

>try to get home >keep coming to the chairlift up. I know dat feel man. I had that same situation when i was at NozawaOnsen ski resort. It was my day1, whiteout and i was looping one of the lift due to whiteout and snow dumps (missed the markers)

GoldenSausage Because they deliver great content, tons of people watch, and so the ads everyone sees pays them a small amount per view. They also have Patreon channel that helps support them so they can keep putting out great videos. They have a good product that's worth supporting. They work super hard too, it's no easy task editing like they do every day. I have mad respect for guys like them, and he other producers like them. It's been said if you do what you love, you never have to work a day in your life! They so deserve getting to enjoy the snow with all the work they out behind it. 👊👍😎🏂

Hi Kevin and TJ, would you say I should steer away from getting an All mounting board like the Jones mountain Twin if I want to do tricks? I'm a beginner and struggling to choose my first board after the training boards. I'd like to carve and maybe do some tricks soon

@zackmalliet8541 5 жыл бұрын

Hey guys I have a question for you in your opinion what's the best well rounded board for pow park and basically all mountain ? I enjoy true twin and alot of flex I currently ride a Rome agent. Looking to get a new board this year but can only afford one and really like to spend my time riding the whole mountain I spend a decent amount of time in the park but enjoy cruising through the trees in deep pow just as much.

Also I have been riding for 12 years so I wouldn't say I'm a pro by any means or anything like that but I deff don't need a beginner board .

Man which do you guys think is better, Thredbo or Perisher!?

@codybeard4485 5 жыл бұрын

perisher

@XoXCrazyVietDudeXoX 5 жыл бұрын

Depends what you're after; perisher has more variety but shorter runs, Thredbo longer runs but less. Perisher does have a higher peak than Thredbo so weather is generally better at perisher

@badboy0510 5 жыл бұрын

I say both have their pro's. Thredbo has more of a European feel to it with the Village and also the more mountain like terrain. Thredbo has amazing long runs that I wouldn't say are very good for learners, although there is still plenty of space to learn. Perisher is amazing as it has a lot more chairlifts to try out and basically more runs, but the runs are much shorter, it also has a lot of places for learners. I say go both!

@tabrat4005 5 жыл бұрын

Thredbo all day, steeper, longer, and in my opinion all round better runs and snow, also less crowded, but perisher is great to learn, especially blue cow

@Clluthu 5 жыл бұрын

thredbo's good on windy days. perisher puts everything on windhold, but I think perisher is nicer to board in general.

@Vondestylez 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply! Yea that seems to be the story from what most opinions I’ve read up on about the Helix. My current board is 2016/17 Capita Scott Stevens which is flat profile and was looking for a camber profile board that can handle bigger jumps no probs. I like to jib as well, so yea not sure how the Helix will go jibbing?
