The Australian mountains are a magical region, yet fragile and unpredictable. Cam shares stories of backcountry skiing to fighting the fires in early 2020 in the Australian Alps.

From seeing a snowboard in Tracks Surf Magazine to inventing snowboards for Australian mountains, to fighting for snowboarding to be allowed in resorts. Thor Prohaska had vast influence in the evolution of snowboarding becoming mainstream in Australia. His journey started out with inventing snowboards in Australia in the early 1980s which lead to fighting for snowboarding to be allowed in the Victorian resorts in Australia.

The Australian ski culture is unique, and Shaka Snow Co aims to capture the essence of the Australian alpine in a fun way. The small Australian snow clothing brand mostly sells t-shirts, hoodies, beanies and stickers. But the products have some really cute Australian animals and other cool graphs printed onto them.
