The Club has a longstanding history of encouraging a flourishing race program and appoints a volunteer Race Director each year. Preference is given where possible to bookings for those Members who wish to book for Club race events. Ski racing is a great way to get to know other Members and have a fun. Please come along and join in. Everyone is welcome and we have many generations of families of all abilities who give it a go!
