Tuesday sees the majority of riders descend on Thredbo, with race plate collection and unofficial practice laps. This day if for the keen beans, those who are contenders, and those who want to scope sneaky lines before the main schedule kicks off.

There’s lots going on here at the Cannonball Festival at Thredbo. From the Flow Motion Cup, to the Pumptrack Challenge, All-Mountain Assault, and of course the Australian Open DH. And that’s all before the Whip Off and the infamous Cannonball After Party.
Given the last Cannonball Festival was held in late 2019, the vibe at the festival so far is huge, with so many riders amped to be back on the mountain, riding the chair to access the trails, and catching up with mates.
