 Stylewars may not be the only ski and snowboard festival in Australia but it is without question the only event that entices the world’s most amazing freeriders to the Southern Hemisphere.
Listed as an invited participant is Sebastien Toutant, the current number two snowboarder in the world and the winner of the recent Burton NZ Open slopestyle.
He’s going to be under some stiff competition from last year’s Grandmaster (and current Stylewars champion Charles Reid the current number three in the world. Whichever of those two win Stylewars would move clinch the sought-after number one in the world position.
However, they could be upstaged by young dare-devils from far-flung snow-covered countries who will be taking part in the most enthralling week of the resort's winter season.
A bunch of the world's most accomplished freeriders (including some up and coming Australian riders) will carry mind-boggling manoeuvres for the three days in the alpine resort’s popular Ruined CastleTerrain Park.
The park crew relish the opportunity to create features which bring the best out in the elite snowboarders who don’t need a lot of encouragement to fly high through the air.
In a quest to be recognised by their boarding counterparts and impress the judges they also compete for a share of the Stylewars prize pool.
Previous winners include a young Norwegian Torstein Horgmo, T-Money as Torstein is known down under amongst his counterparts, and Charles Reid a quiet achiever from Quebec.
Both athletes have left Falls Creek with the 7 grand cash prize for the overall mantle of Stylewars Grandmaster. Reid will be back to defend the title he won last year but word on the rider’s grapevine is this may the year the Australian riders come to the fore.
The event not only showcases the freeriding attributes of the invited athletes it also includes some sensational entertainment. The event coordinator Richard Hegarty pulls together a knock out line-up of musos who will be seen performing at The Man (on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and in tandem with the craziest rail set up in OZ, the 28 stair rail jam, which is . held under lights in the Village Bowl
The outcome of the thrills and spills will be announced at the 'party of the year' when the 2009 Grandmaster' is crowned on Thursday night.

Stylewars the only ski and snowboard festival in Australia brought to you by Red Bull and Corona.
One of the most enthralling week of the resort's winter season is when the young dare-devils from far-flung snow-covered countries display their prowess on a board, as they fly through the air in the annual Stylewars invitational event.
A bunch of the world's most accomplished freeriders (including some up and coming Australian riders) will carry mind-boggling maneuvers for the four days in the alpine resort's popular Ruined Castle Terrain Park.
The park crew relish the opportunity to create features which bring the best out in the elite snowboarders who don't need a lot of encouragement to fly high through the air.
In a quest to be recognised by their boarding counterparts and impress the judges they also compete for a share of the $12,000 Stylewars prize pool.
Previous winners include a young Norwegian Torstein Horgmo, T-Money as Torstein is known down under amongst his counterparts, and Charles Reid a quiet achiever from Quebec.
Both athletes have left Falls Creek with the 7 grand cash prize for the overall mantle of Stylewars Grandmaster. Reid will be back to defend the title he won last year but word on the rider's grapevine is this may be the year the Australian riders come to the fore with past local winner Ryan Tiene being the favorite.
The event not only showcases the freeriding attributes of the invited athletes it also includes some sensational entertainment. The event coordinator Richard Hegarty pulls together a knock out line-up of musos who will be seen performing at The Man (on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and in tandem outside The Frying Pan Inn (on Wednesday) with the craziest rail set up in OZ, the 28 stair rail jam, which is held under lights in the Village Bowl where the party goes till late in The Frying Pan Inn.
