Torah Bright

Torah Bright exists in a category all of her own. A snow lover since birth, Torah was skiing at age 2 and by 11, she had broken into the snowboarding scene. Torah joined the Roxy team in 1999 and has gone on to dominate competitions around the world, including the TTR World Tour, Global Open Series, FIS World Cups, Winter X Games, and of course, podium finishes at two Winter Olympics, taking home the gold in 2010 and silver medal in 2014. She splits her time between her home in Salt Lake City, her training ground of New Zealand, and her homeland of Australia.

In 2011, Torah focused on backcountry riding and added big powder jumps, steep lines, and snowmobile rallying to her already formidable arsenal. And in 2013, she dropped back into the contest scene with force - this time attacking half pipe, slope style and snowboard cross. After a successful start to her 2014 season with a Dew Tour win, Torah went on to become the first and only person in the world to qualify and compete in three snowboard events at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, taking home a silver medal in half pipe in the process.

To wrap up the last weekend of winter with style, we towed the ROXY caravan to the home of Australian Alpine resorts and standout Apres venues, Jindabyne, to attend SnowTunes Music Festival and spend some time on the slopes.


We had 3 times Olympic Gold Medalist Torah Bright, along with freshly named Olympian Emily Arthur and International act, Great Britain’s Aimee Fuller come to join us. As well as Aussie TV’s own Liv Phyland and Teigan Nash to come to ski and have some fun with the girls.

When planning the perfect boarding trip, staying warm and dry in sub-zero temperatures is essential.

Properly layering yourself is a challenge for many and without perfecting the art, you are almost guaranteed to be chilly (and miserable) on the slopes. Watch Olympic champion, Torah Bright, take you through the process step-by-step.


A Lesson in Layering for the Mountains with Torah Bright

Base Layers

First, you want to put on your base layers. Thermal base layers are often recommended, because they keep you warm by trapping and insulating a layer of warm air around the skin.


Snow Pants

Next up, put on your snow pants. Snow pants’ main purpose is to keep water and snow out.


Biotherm neck warmer

Freezing temperatures, dry air and friction from clothing fabric dehydrate and irritate the skin, especially on the face, neck and hands. This is why ROXY partnered with Biotherm to create the first line of winter products that care for your skin.


Beanie

Throw on a beanie


Goggles

Keep UV rays at bay with a quality pair of snow goggles.


Hoodie and or Insulator Jacket

Depending on the conditions, you may need one or both of these layers.


Snow Jacket

Similar to your snow pants, the snow jacket ensures moisture stays out and warmth stays in.


Gloves or Mittens

The final touches are just as important as your base layers, especially when your mittens feature the ROXYxBiotherm lining, keeping your hands cozy and moisturised all day long.

Now that you've chosen the perfect pair of goggles and have selected which lenses you need for your conditions, Torah Bright is now going show you just how quick and easy it is to change your lenses on the go.

Change of Weather? Change Your Mind? Change Your Lens.

Last week Torah helped you in selecting the perfect pair of snow goggles, this week, she will be sharing her tips for choosing the right lens for whatever your weather conditions may be.

Cloudy conditions = The YELLOW lens will help define the terrain better.

Sunny conditions = The CHROME lens filters out UV light and glare.

Low light or Night = The CLEAR lens protects eyes from the elements.


If you’re anything like us, you’ve already started planning and preparing your next trip to the mountains, and in our opinion, the only guarantee for a good day on the slopes (besides a great crew to ride with) is making sure you have the right equipment.

Aside from aesthetics, navigating your way through the myriad of tech features and benefits can be dizzying.

So this season we asked Olympic champion Torah Bright to help guide you through choosing the perfect pair of snow goggles. Not only that, in the coming weeks she will walk you through picking the right lens for the conditions and how to change them on-the-go.


The Tech, and what it means……

UV Protection = Our lenses are certified to protect your eyes from damaging ultra violet light.

Anti Fog = Our lenses have a special coating and a double lens combination to avoid condensation building up.

Anti scratch = We’ve added a coating on the outer lens to avoid scratching.

Distortion Free = A well-centered lens will provide the best clarity.

Spherical lens = The curve of the lens offers better peripheral vision and helps reduce fog.

Double density foam and polar fleece = The foam helps to mould to the shape of your face and the polar fleece is for the softest touch possible, which will provide maximum comfort all day long.

PU injected frame = The medical grade polyurethane that’s injected into the frame allows for a lighter and more comfortable fit.

40mm wide strap with slide adjusters = The wide strap makes sure your goggles will stay in place and the adjusters are for a comfortable fit over a helmet or a beanie.

As the temperature drops and the first dusting of snow starts to cover the mountains, our excitement and anticipation for the season ahead rises.

To celebrate the latest ROXYxBiotherm collection dropping this month, we asked Olympic champ, Torah Bright, to share her favorite tracks for the November Monthly Mixtape.

They came, they saw and they conquered. From fresh powder to our very own pink ladies, last week we gathered an alpine girl gang at Threbo resort, all in the name of learning some new skills and a chance to meet local legend Torah Bright and bright new star, Kelly Sildaru.

ROXY Girls Ride Day 2017

If you managed to tune in to our Insta story, chances are you noticed that our Girls Ride Day just happened to coincide with the 4th blizzard to hit the Australian alps this season, aptly earning the title ‘the Blizzard of Oz’.

ROXY Girls Ride Day 2017

As the weather set in and the flakes began to multiply, the event itself was in doubt... “Should we call it off? Will we be able to run it in these conditions?”, to which Torah emphatically answered;

“Of Course we can!!” shouted Torah, “this is Australian POWDER, let’s SHRED!”



While Olympic champion, Torah Bright, calls Thredbo Resort her home in the snow, we were lucky enough to have X Games Champ, Kelly Sildaru join us (fresh from her World Cup Freeski Slopestyle win in New Zealand!) This was Kelly’s first time to Australia, and together with her little brother, Henry, they met the locals, showed them a few tricks and learnt a little bit about pow in the land down under.

Scroll down for a few of our favorite moments from the day -



Riding pow with your friends. Can you think if a better way to spend a Monday? @roxy #roxygirlsrideday

Hundreds of women joined Olympic Champion, Torah Bright, for a big day of fitness fun at #ROXYfitness Queenstown over the weekend. Although the temps were low the girls kept the vibes high amongst some of the most incredible scenery in the world.

From running and stand up paddleboarding in the shadow of Queenstown's dramatic mountain ranges, to stretching it out from above the clouds (or so it seemed) at the skyline gondola, participants couldn't help but be inspired by their surrounds.

Take a look at the highlights of the day and if you haven't already, sign up for a #ROXYfitness event near you!

After chasing Winter almost year round, who could blame #ROXYsnow Queens, Torah Bright and Robin Van Gyn, for the need to shake off the winter blues by booking an impromptu trip to the tropics. Swapping snowboards for surfboards and to soak up a healthy dose of sun, sand and salt in Fiji for a week.

From the Australian snowfields just days before boarding a plane, Robin and Torah had plans perfected, tickets booked and bags packed ready for the 4 hour flight from Sydney to the South Pacific. But what happens then when your wardrobe for paradise matches that of your BFF? Robin fills us in on their twinning adventures below.

We spend the bulk of our lives amidst storms and snowy mountains, so I think it’s ok to take a little ‘thaw out’ vacation every once in awhile. On a snowboard trip to Australia, Torah and I started dreaming up a zinc and coconut infused adventure while we were riding the t-bar one frosty morning. Within three strap-ins, we were confirmed to slide at Tavarua Island Resort, Fiji.

Picturing ourselves looking like Steph Gilmore at Cloudbreak, we knew we needed kits to match the vision. We stopped in at the ROXY store in Manly, Sydney, to top up the Summer wardrobe essentials. What followed was a lot of switching suits and the running commentary featured plenty of “ooh ya, that one is cute too” and “is there another medium?”

It was inevitable really, we have very similar taste and from the moment we boarded our Fiji Air flight in the exact same outfit to almost every island activity you can think of - surfing, stand up Paddleboarding, snorkeling, tennis, dinner, dancing or fishing, we ended up twinning our way through the week.

The flow of compliments ranged from “how cute” and “is that ROXY?”. We were loving it, and to top it all off, we borrowed matching mermaid tails the we constantly slipped into when the waves weren’t firing.

As it turned out, we were looking less like Steph at Cloudbreak and more like snowboarders at Swimming Pools (the mellower break), and the swell didn’t arrive until we were on a plane back to Australia, but we had a hell of a time in melting winter off and planning our next outfit. We managed to do every activity available on the island and meet some amazing people in the process.

Basking in our new South Pacific glow, we coordinated our travel outfit one last time, in preparation for the all too familiar airport routine back home to await a northern hemi winter. Where we return to our non-twinning versions of ourselves. Thanks for the fun Fiji!

With two Olympic medals, countless X Games medals, an ESPN Espy Award and a fair share of World Titles under her belt, Torah Bright continues to set new standards in the sport of snowboarding.

Her pursuit of excellence on her board matches her attention to detail when designing her ROXY Bright Edition collection, and her current range is no exception. This season, Torah looked to the mountain for inspiration, bringing glacial blue hues, slim fits and a dramatic landscape print to her signature styles.
