The Billabong Bro Down went down at Snow Park NZ this weekend and the team definitely made their mark!

The qualifiers were held on the Friday where Tim Herbert qualified 1st and 5 out of 7 of the team made it through to the finals. Finals played out on Saturday where Tyler defended his Junior title placing 1st, Tim Herbert 3rd, Carlos Garcia Knight 4th and Silas Moran 5th. Mikey Ciccarelli 15years stepped it up and entered the open men’s division making him the youngest competitor and finished up in 8th place. Awesome day, awesome vibe and a great start to the season with the full team!

15 Year Old Mikey Ciccarelli Blitzed the rest of the field on his last run in the Slopestyle event at the Youth Winter Olympics. Finishing with a score of 94.25 out of 100, Mikey was 4 points clear of his closest rival for the event, Ben Ferguson from the USA who won Sundays Halfpipe event. Simple Snowboarding’s Tyler Nicholson fell on his first run and ended up in 6th place. Congratulations to both of our team members and also to Simple Snowboarding/Team Canada coach Elliot Catton who brought home 2 Gold Medals in Slopestyle for Canada and had all 4 of his team members in the finals for Halfpipe and Slopestyle!!

Mikey also just missed out on a double podium with his 4th place finish in Halfpipe, missing out on a Bronze medal by 0.25 points!
