FreeBOM 2017

The Chillfactor FreeBOM presented by Corona is for every skier. It is your chance to get a cheer from the lift, a high-five at the bottom of the run and a shout-out from an MC in a one-piece suit. It’s not about how well you ski it’s about how well you want to ski. This is theatre, this is action, this is the way skiing was meant to be before espresso coffee made it just another Saturday.

The competition is much like a big mountain event but instead of being held on the side of a steep rocky peak the event is located on Mt Buller’s infamous Wood Run – birthplace of Aussie bump skiing and an achievable challenge for intermediate skiers and a blast for experts.

Skiers will be judged on their skiing fluidity, aggression, line choice and control. The format is relaxed and the judges are as much a part of the entertainment as they are looking at the skiing. Prizes will be awarded to all ages and genders based on skiing, dressing, airing, falling and FreeBOMing.

Prize categories include The Wise +40 y.o, The Young -16 y.o, Best Dressed, Best Fall, Best Male Skier – “Nick Cleaver” Award and Best Female – “Kristie Marshall” Award with awesome prizes from our sponsors The North Face, Oyuki, K2 skis, Mt. Buller and more!

So start growing those sideburns and stop shaving those armpits. It’s time for everyone to get raw and express the true animal spirit of the hotdoggin’ skier within.

Skiers, snowboarders, toboganners, and general snow-lovers of all abilities unite for the Corona Apresski Party in the FreeBOM Igloo outside ABOM. Hotdog on the skis and turntables alike, DJs will be pumping the tunes and Corona will be providing the buckets of apres goodness. Entry is FREE. There's no apresski like FreeBOM!
