National Alpine Ski Team named

Published Fri 21 Jun 2019

Ski and Snowboard Australia (SSA) is pleased to announce the 2019-2020 National Alpine Ski Team.

The team, selected from the SSA selection criteria, brings together 12 top skiers with a great mix of youth and experience.

Among the team are some of the country’s most experienced alpine skiers, including Olympians Sami Kennedy Sim, Greta Small, Harry Laidlaw and Anton Grimus.

Appearing as part of their first National Team, rising stars Thomas Hoffman, Zoe Michael, Robbie Morrison and Finn Bowes have delivered strong performances on the international stage in recent months worthy of inclusion on the national side.

Australia's alpine team continues to deliver strong performances on the domestic and international circuits and this team is well placed to build on these results.   

SSA congratulates athletes on their worthy selection.
