Snowsports Invitation
The 2023 Snowsports season promises to be an exciting and rewarding experience for those who are passionate about skiing and snowboarding. After an outstanding season of success from newcomers and experienced racers last year, we now have new families join the Shore Snowsports team this year.
Snowsports fosters a wonderful family-oriented enjoyment of Alpine environments, with events in downhill skiing and snowboarding, skier and snowboard cross and slopestyle and cross-country skiing in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, suitable for skiers and boarders of all skill levels. It has been lovely for me to receive updates from families who have enjoyed the Northern Hemisphere winter. Thank you to those who took part last year.
Please read below for important information for this season:
Information Night
The Information Night is an evening event for prospective families to learn more about Snowsports at Shore, the Interschools Competition and the registration process. There is also the opportunity to meet with parents who are experienced with the Sport. The 2023 Information Night is scheduled for Tuesday 4 April in Playfair from 6:30pm.
2023 Snowsports Training Camp
While we did experience a bit of a debacle with last year’s Snowsports training camp, we are surging forward into 2023. I have been in contact with the Thredbo Ski School and have tentatively booked beds at the House of Ullr Ski Resort in the heart of Thredbo. Arrangements are looking positive.
The Snowsports Training Camp is a fantastic opportunity for boys to spend time and train together under the guidance of professional instructors. The tentative dates for the camp this year are Tuesday 4 July to Saturday 8 July. Boys must be collected by their parents on the afternoon of Saturday 8 July and then stay with their parents throughout Regionals. Depending on the availability of instructors, there is also the possibility of an optional training day for boys who do not require accommodation.
Interschools Event Dates
In 2023, the Shore Snowsports team will compete at the following Interschools events:
- Subaru Sydney Interschool Snowsports Championships – 10 to 14 July at Thredbo Ski Resort.
- Subaru NSW/ACT/QLD State Interschools Snowsports Championships – 21 to 25 August at Perisher Valley.
- Australian Interschools Snowsports Championships – 5 to 10 September at Mt Buller.
