Riding high in the Stash

Freestyle skiers and board riders have been enjoying the snow conditions and sunshine at the Remarkables, with shared sessions in the Stash terrain park recently.

Ski area manager Ross Lawrence said the Stash was the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere and one of only five in the world - the other four are at Avoriaz (France), Northstar-at-Tahoe (US), Killington (Vermont) and Flachauwinkl (Austria).

The Stash concept was created by Jake Burton and the Burton team, using only natural terrain to make freestyle snow-park features, following the natural line of the mountain.

Mr Lawrence said he was seeing more and more skiers and riders enjoying the feature.

"It's great to see so many young people enjoying the Stash and the whole freestyle scene."

The Stash is a 1km-long run which can be accessed via the Sugar Bowl lift.
