Snow Australia is excited to announce registration for the Ski Cross FUTURES at Hotham from 29 to 30 August has now opened.
FUTURES is an athlete development and talent identification initiative that offers participants the opportunity to experience a day in the life of Australia’s national team athletes.
The program is a unique component of the Athlete Pathway, that will see participants trained by national team athletes and coaches to increase their ski cross experience through learning about proper course inspections, the race formats and technical and tactical focus.
National Pathway & Sport Development Coordinator Sami Kennedy-Sim said she is excited to see the return of the FUTURES Ski Cross program after two years.
"This is a unique opportunity to build skills for ski cross that also complement alpine racing,” she said.
“I am excited to have these two days of FUTURES leading into the ANC Ski Cross series and encourage all FIS Alpine or FIS aged athletes to come and enjoy what this sport has to offer."
The FUTURES program is designed to lead into Australia’s premier Ski Cross event, the ANC Ski Cross Series from 31 August - 2 September, at Mt Hotham.
Snow Australia welcomes any FIS-aged competitor looking to enhance their ski cross skills and on snow development to register for the Ski Cross FUTURES program HERE.
