Burton Cattleman’s Rail Jam

Burton Snowboards is pleased to announce the return of Australia’s premier rail event, the Burton Cattleman’s Rail Jam, happening Saturday, July 22^nd.

For the 12^th consecutive year, Australia’s best snowboarders will descend on Mt Buller to compete in the country’s longest running snowboarding rail event for a share of  $10,000 worth of cash and prizes.

In 2017 Burton welcomes new partners, new awards and new viewing experiences to the Cattleman’s event, combined with the same mind-blowing display of snowboarding talent seen for over a decade. This year’s event will once again offer the country’s best up-and-coming riders a chance to prove themselves on Australia’s most famous snowboarding stair-set, with qualifiers taking place throughout the day on the rail itself.

From 2pm, the Mt Buller Village square will transform into a qualification battleground, with a qualifying jam session taking place on a refined Cattleman’s rail set up. The top 10 qualifiers from the day’s heats will then compete against previous competition winners, including four-time champion Jye Kearney and 2016 champion Sam ‘Reddog’ Nuemann, for a share of the $10K prize pool, as well as the Monster Energy Best Trick award.

Transfer Snowboard Magazine will be also offering the ‘Show Up and Blow Up’ award, a brand new accolade offering the most impressive up-and-coming rider on the night a printed feature in the magazine and a series of Transfer prizes.

Finals kick off at 6pm with free entry, crowd giveaways, music and more.

For the first time, our friends at Corona will be offering a full VIP experience at Cattleman’s Bar & Café with a live-feed of the event, live DJ and plenty of Coronas to go around. Corona are also proud to presenting the famed Burton Cattleman’s After Party at an all new venue; Moosehead, Mt Buller – featuring a roaring live set by renowned Australian DJ duo Yolanda Be Cool.
