ABOUT AMASDF

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 identified emerging athletes via the Amelia McGuiness Scholarship Program, with applications to open later in the year. In 2024, with the Time Trial moving to Falls Creek from the Perisher Resort, applications from participating Victorian based competitors will be accepted. 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.
