Come & Try Rollerskiing - Lane Cove

Snow Australia's Come and Try Rollerskiing session at Lane Cove in Sydney is designed for Interschools athletes or any juniors planning to cross country ski at Perisher this winter. The lead coach for the session is NSWACT XC Head Coach Alexei Sotskov, fresh from the 2022 World Junior & U23 Championships held in Norway in February. Experienced NSWACT XC athletes will be training at Lane Cove at the same time. Come for a rollerski then join Alexei and the team for a BBQ breakfast afterwards.

Rollerskiing uses short skis with a wheel at either end, and the same boots and bindings used for cross country skiing on snow. The Discover XC website provides more information.
