Cross Country Coordinator Update - July 2022
Published Fri 22 Jul 2022
Dear XC Skiers,
The winter racing season is now fully underway, with state championships held last weekend at Perisher and Falls Creek following earlier club events also at these resorts. Articles from each of the state events are now up on the Snow Australia site, as well as registration links for all events in the FIS Australia New Zealand Continental Cup series.
I would like to take the opportunity to welcome coach Kate Mulcahy to the XC National Training Centre at Falls Creek. Hailing from the USA, Kate arrived in Australia at the end of June and leapt straight into the deep end with back-to-back National Team and Victorian Team camps. It’s been great to see Kate and other coaches in action over the past few weeks, coaching athletes of all levels from National Team through to local juniors.
In the next step of our planning for the 2022/2023 international season, we are calling for athletes to submit expressions of interest to compete in various international events or to be involved in Snow Australia led programs. More information is available in this news update.
On a personal note, I’d like to report on some fantastic skiing with my family during the school holidays. See below a photo from a small off-track venture from the Two Pauls track at Falls Creek last week.
All the best wishes to everyone for more days like these!
Finn Marsland
Cross Country Skiing Program Director
