2025 Snow Australia FIS JNR SBX Series
Published Thu 12 Jun 2025
Snow Australia is pleased to announce that the FIS JNR SBX Series is back in 2025 for the fourth straight year.
In a discipline which continues to produce stars taking on the world, Australia’s leading young snowboard cross competitors will have the opportunity to contest three events as part of the series this season:
- Thursday 07 August – Thredbo Race 1
- Friday 08 August – Thredbo Race 2
- Wednesday 13 August – Hotham Race 3
With points awarded across all events, the eventual male and female winners of the Series will take home the title of Snow Australia National Junior SBX Champion.
“Snowboard cross is not only one of the most exciting disciplines we see across all snowsports, it is also one in which Australia continues to produce talent,” said Johnny Lipzker, Snow Australia’s Program Operations and Sport Development Coordinator.
“An athlete like James Johnstone has come through the series and gone on to win a Junior World Championship, collect Europa Cup podiums and start at the World Cup level.”
“Many previous winners have achieved success on the world stage. Mia Clift went on to win the FIS Snowboard Cross female rookie of the year while Lara Walsh represented Australia at the Youth Olympic Games.
“This series provides crucial heat racing experience in Australia for our young talent moving through the pathway. We thank Thredbo and Hotham for their continued support of the Junior SBX Series.”
The FIS JNR SBX Series is open to SBX athletes aged between 15 and 19 (on 31 December 2025).
