Event Formats

Time Trial

All participants will ski an individual time trial using an interval start format.

Head to Head Races

Based on the time trial, participants will be seeded into groups of similar standard. Within those groups, participants will race again head to head over the same distance.

Team Event

Based on the original time trial, participants will be placed into teams within categories. The format will be finalised closer to the event day.

Equipment

The intention is to supply all participants with the same rollerskis (SWIX Triac Skates). Just in case, participants should be prepared to supply their own rollerskis for the events. Juniors or novice skiers can opt to use their own rollerskis if they need additional stability.

All competitors must have a current Snow Australia membership of any category (including Snowracer).

  • $10 - U16/U14/U12  using own skis

Entries can be made on the day, however to assist with race organisation participants are asked to enter by the Wednesday before the race if possible.
