with the first stage (the "Audition") launched today. Skiers and

snowboarders are encouraged to capture and submit online their best

“The Toyota One Hit Wonder Down Under Event showcases Australian

snowsports on an international stage and in 2010 spectators should

expect nothing short of an insane jaw-dropping spectacular,” says Event

Director, Tim Myers. “The event brings out the best in riders and is a

great way to highlight the skills of our upcoming athletes and progress

the sport in Australia.”

A virtual grandstand, made up of anyone connected to the Internet,

will decide on the winners by voting for their favorite big-air trick on

www.onehitwonderevent.com.

The public have three weeks to vote which one skier and one snowboarder

will be awarded 2010 Toyota One Hit Wonder Down Under Champion. By

voting, consumers go into the draw to win the 'Ultimate Winter Package'.

This includes an all-expenses-paid holiday for 2 to Niseko Japan valued

at $6,200 thanks to Deep Powder Tours Ski Holidays, plus a complete

Salomon Sports ski and snowboard equipment package valued at $3,800.

2009 One Hit Wonder ski winner, Bine Zalohar said, “I came to

Australia to work as a ski instructor and heard from my friends that

there was a big event going down at the end of the season. On the final

day of jumping I landed my money trick and the people voted for me.”


The 2010 total prize pool is valued at $10,000. As well as the

publicly voted champions, the final athletes will vote amongst

themselves at the end of the week to decide the most impressive peer

performance, which will be awarded at the Thredbo Village after party on
