Melbourne, April 30: Australia’s snowsport community gathered at the Snow Australia Awards in Melbourne last night to celebrate the remarkable performances produced by Australian athletes and coaches over the last 12 months.
The outstanding success achieved by Australian athletes on the World Cup circuit and at the World Championships meant it was extremely difficult to single out an individual performance. World Championship gold medalist and back-to-back FIS Aerials Crystal Globe winner Laura Peel won the coveted Athlete of the Year awards (Olympic disciplines) alongside Snowboard Cross Team event World Champions Belle Brockhoff and Jarryd Hughes. The three edged other finalists Matt Graham, Tess Coady and Scotty James for the award.
