To assist with your bookings for this year please refer to schedule of events.

2006 was a very enjoyable and relatively successful year for the Junior Racers. The team combined to run second overall, with some very good individual performances. We welcomed some new competitors this year for our club and all put in great efforts. It was great to see them gel with the existing team members. Thanks kids!

For the Seniors, the team performed brilliantly to be crowned champion club with some very good individual performances. The injection of some young blood into the team a difference. The team is going to be a force for years to come. There are more young guns qualifying for seniors this year which can only benefit the ageing outfit.

JUNIORS

The Junior race training program has been developed over the years to improve the technique of members and their children racing for the club. It is not free ski school for all children. The aspiring participants, most of whom have done their time in ski school, have to be capable of skiing all over the mountain un-aided to a pre determined standard. They will be placed in one of two groups by Perisher Blue Race coaches. The coaches must tutor to the lowest ability of the group so it is important to group the kids of similar ability. Please contact me for further information. Whilst the training budget is limited, all levels of skiers are encouraged to race for the club and enjoy the team spirit we share at Illabunda.

Due to bed limitations, it is preferred that parents accompanying juniors be limited to one per family or we may have to utilise other lodges near-by, if available.

It is very important to let me know ASAP once bookings have commenced of the intentions of racers for the season. This will enable me to work out numbers for bed allocations etc. on the training and racing dates.

The Club supports racing by the following:-

• 5 day x 2hr Downhill training by Race Instructors (Carve technique)
• 2 day x 2hr Snow board training by Instructors
• Cross Country training (depending on weather and coaches)
• All race entry fees paid for.

NOTE: All equipment is to be organised prior to training and races. It is encouraged to participate in at least 2 disciplines (don’t forget girls, bring your Snow Boards).

HELMETS ARE COMPULSORY for Downhill and Snowboard.

Each participant and official is required to complete Waiver forms for Perisher Blue and Illabunda.
