Published Fri 11 Dec 2020
Snow Australia FUTURES is seeking expressions of interest from Alpine athletes to attend a dryland training program in Canberra this summer.
Participants will work on developing their fundamental Alpine skills and Physical Literacy on the Carpet Slope at Vertikal Snowsports.

The program will be run by Christian Geiger, with other Alpine Pathway Program Coaches in attendance.
