Alpine Director Update - October 2021
Published Fri 08 Oct 2021
Dear Alpine Members (past and present),
With the domestic winter now officially over, it's a good time to reflect on another season full of changes and challenges. Our clubs and resorts had to face repeated lockdowns and disruptions of training opportunities, however what has stood out to me is the resilience of our clubs, coaches, athletes and families as they made the best of an uncertain landscape. It’s this resilience that leaves me confident we can succeed in reaching our goals in the future. The end of the season provided a bright spot for many of our athletes and clubs, who were able to resume training under some great conditions and take advantage of every opportunity available to them. This to me is how success is born and goals realised.
With the landscape in Australia rapidly changing and international travel looking more likely in the coming months, I hope many of our athletes will have access to training opportunities in the northern hemisphere. We will continue to update the community through Snow Australia's channels as opportunities become clearer.
Cheers,
Shawn.
