The TTR FOUR(4) STAR Garnier Fructis Australian Open provided a high standard Slopestyle course and possibly the best halfpipe ever seen on Australian soil. Directly following the day after, the TTR THREE(3) STAR Stylewars 007 by Oakley created the biggest Hip feature seen in Australia, and the biggest judged kicker in snowboard competitive history.
