Snow Sports & Ski Racing
Warrugang encourages its members and their friends to engage in ski competitions whenever they are staying at our lodge. This year we have the traditional Interschools Snowsports Races which are already heavily subscribed, plus the Perisher Blue Masters, Perisher Cup , Inter-club racing and NSW Cross Country Skiing where Warrugang has a proud record of top performances.
This year everyone can enter the Warrugang Vertical Challenge which leverages the Perisher Dashboard. It doesn’t matter when you go down, how long you stay or how often you visit, every ski day counts as a days competition. Have fun competing against yourself and your friends whenever you ski. We will collate the results and put them up at the end of the season. Everyone who competes will be recognised.
Also new this year is a friendly competition between Warrugang and our adjacent clubs Thirroul Ski Club (Maranatha) and Oldina Ski Club which will be held on Saturday 18 July 2015 on Upper Roller Coaster. Divisions will be under 18’s, 18-40 and over 40’s. We currently have plenty of accommodation available whether you want to come for the weekend to compete or better the whole week to get some training ahead of the race. If you are intending to race please send an email to our Club Captain at pwr.funnell@gmail.com.au who will coordinate with Maranatha and Oldina.
