Top junior talent in action at the 2018 jNats

Australia’s best junior freestyle talent has put on an impressive show in difficult conditions at the 2018 Junior National Mogul Championships (jNats) at Mt Buller.

Unfortunately bad visibility reduced the competition from one to two runs, but in a test to each athletes mental resolve, they stepped and gave their best in the difficult conditions.  ​
Picture
The course for this year’s event was one of the best, featuring 200m of moguls and two table top jumps.

Such a high-quality course is often not seen on Chamois until late in the season and comes on the back of the Olympic Training Centre agreement, summer earth works, early season snowfalls and snowmaking.

The event attracted over 80 athletes from Mt Buller, Falls Creek and Mt Hotham, competing across two separate age groups. Winners of the Junior division (19 and under) took away $600 cash from Mark Adams Real Estate, with the Youth division (13 and under) winning $200. All podium athletes received prizes from Bolle.

Many thanks to the event sponsors, Mark Adams Real Estate, Bolle and especially Mt Buller.

The 2017 Junior National Mogul Championships “jNats”, took place last Sunday in great conditions at Mt Buller, featuring a strong field delivering some fantastic mogul skiing on the Chamois ski run.

With 98 athletes entered to compete in the event from Mt Buller, Mt Hotham and Falls Creek, the competition for podium positions was always going to be fierce.

Two divisions were on offer, with the Junior category for skiers 19 and under and the Youth category for under 13. Bounce Inc provided prize money for the winners and Bolle giving goggles for all podium athletes.

In the Junior division, Angus Cronin-Guss was the standout athlete in the men’s event with a strong performance to record a clear victory. Paris Speirs and Eleanor Mullins had a close battle in the women’s division, with Paris taking the win.

In the Youth category, Edward Hill put down an impressive first run to hold off Mt Hotham competitors Tristan Rowley and Will Atwell. Indi Speirs made it a double women’s victory for the Speirs family with first place in the Youth women’s division.

Special recognition was also given to under 10 women’s competitors Lucy Butler and Esther Foley who qualified for the top-15 final against older athletes.  

Congratulations also to the Hill Family with all three children winning medals on the day.

The competition was the first mogul event of the season held in Victoria, with 100 athletes entering the event from seasonal programs at Mt Buller, Falls Creek and Mt Hotham.

A field of over 60 athletes competed in the event, battling it out for a smorgasbord of prizes including $1000 prizemoney from Bounce Inc, Bolle Goggles and assorted items from Aussieskier.

After each athlete had a qualifying run, the top ten skiers from each division advanced to the final.

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.
Picture
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.

Teen sensation heads field for 2012 jNats

The Junior National Mogul Championships "jNats" is set to return to Mt Buller on the weekend of August 4-5.

A unique opportunity exists for athletes taking part, being able to train and compete alongside the leading junior female athlete in the world, 17-year-old AIS skier Britt Cox.

After winning the jNats and ABOM Mogul Challenge events at Mt Buller over the past two years, Britt announced her arrival on the world stage after becoming the first Australian female mogul skier to win a World Cup medal in Deer Valley, UT, USAm during February 2012.

The jNats event caters for all levels of the sport from first time mogul competitors to World Cup medallists!

Over 100 competitors are expected to compete in the event, which is testament to the popularity of mogul skiing in Australia, driven by strong club programs and success at the Olympic level.

The event serves as a critical competition step for the nation's mogul skiing athletes, giving them the opportunity to press for national development team selection and providing an ideal lead-up to the Victorian Interschools and ABOM Mogul Challenge events at Mt Buller.
The event will take place on the Chamois ski run, featuring 170m of moguls and two jumps for competitors to negotiate.

Two age categories are on offer, junior (born January 1 1998 to December 31 1993) and youth (born 1999 or later), with trophies awarded to each male and female podium winner and prizes donated by K2 and Bolle.

Stay tuned for the entry form and event schedule which should be available in early July.
