Cattleman's

For 99% of the year this hand rail is the main walk way for one of Australia's busiest resorts Mt Buller. But for one night in July Burton and Mt Buller give a selected group of riders the chance to get that trick they walk past each time on the way to the lifts. Otherwise it is another 12 months of thinking what if.....
The Cattlemen's event holds a special place in Australian snowboarding and with the third year done it contiunes to raise the level of events and riding within OZ. This year Robbie Walker won with Mikey Williams and Tom Pelley sharing second. While young gun Jye Kearney grabbed best trick. Also a sign that women's snowboarding is stepping up in Australia with Erin Tanner and Courtney Phillpson being the first women to hit the famous Cattleman's Rail.
