The Amelia McGuiness Australian Snowsports Development Foundation (AMASDF) was established in memory of Amelia McGuiness who tragically died in a skiing accident in 2009.

All monies raised are distributed to our emerging athletes via the Amelia McGuiness Scholarship Program, applications to open in mid-September each year. This scholarship is dedicated to providing practical support (for equipment, training and resources), for up-and-coming winter snowsports athletes from the age of 10 to 18 years old, across all disciplines including Para winter athletes. 2022 marks the 13^th Anniversary of Amelia’s passing and since then, the foundation has distributed $194,860 in funds to emerging athletes.

This event is the perfect opportunity to practice in a Cross Country event before the State Cross Country Interschools Championships on Wednesday, August 24.
