Athletes brave difficult conditions for 2012 jNats
Photo: Mark Ashkanasy 2012
A strong field of 96 athletes from club programs TBR, MBRC and Full Attack on Mt Buller were joined on the Summit course by 2010 Olympian and Australia's first ever female Mogul Skiing World Cup medallist, Britt Cox.
In what was a difficult weekend with high winds and poor visibility forcing the cancellation of a number of events across Australian resorts, the 2012 jNats event was still able to operate under a modified format to ensure the events completion. The poor visibility led to the event needing to make a number of changes for it to take place, such as starting athletes from below the top jump and moving judges up to the bottom air.

Congratulations to all competitors on the day who braved the tough conditions to take part.
Despite not being able to run the full course, everyone gained valuable competition experience which will help for the events over the next few weeks. |
