Come & Try Rollerskiing - Willoughby Netball Courts

Snow Australia's Come and Try Rollerskiing session at Willoughby Netball Courts in Sydney is open to participants of all abilities, juniors, adaptive and masters, and particularly suited for those of Interschools age planning to cross country ski at Perisher this winter. The lead coach for the session is AUSXC and NSWACT XC Head Coach Alexei Sotskov, ably assisted by Min Middleton from Disabled Wintersport Australia and experienced AUSXC and NSWACT XC athletes.

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.
