Battle@BawBaw 2014

DCIM101GOPRO

The 2014 Kicker Battle@BawBaw was run and won on Saturday 2nd August on the famous Baw Baw staircase. A dump of fresh snow and then sunshine greeted competitors and spectators on arrival to the alpine resort and the rail action didn’t disappoint. Congratulations to Fyve Snowboard team riders Lou Macias – 1st, Sam Neumann – 2nd and Charles Morris – 3rd, Vortex Team Rider Beau Fisher who gave it a great crack in the pro division and Mt Baw Baw Staff who did great job running the event.

Call into Vortex before you go to rent your gear or wax up your board and we will shout you a free coffee / hot chocolate on the mountain plus give you a chance to win a weekend getaway to Baw Baw this Summer.

Finally some snow!

Snow fell on the Vicco Resorts over night. Might be time to bring in your board for a wax and tune before you head up to the mountains. Remember, we also hire the full range of gear from Boards to toboggans to wheel chains at great prices.
