Our annual ski orienteering day at Perisher will be held on Sunday August 11.
The 2019 NSW & ACT Ski-Orienteering Championships are the sixth year in a row we have staged this event since it was revived by Big Foot's Swede Patrik Gunnarsson. It is now jointly organised by Big Foot, ACT club Red Roos and Perisher X Country.
Participants can choose from: Long, Middle and Short line courses, a 2-hour Snogaine or a 1-2-hour family treasure hunt.
Please note that downhill skis and snowboards are not suitable - you need cross-country skis.
This event forms part of XC Ski week (2019 details yet to be added to website), with the start in front of the beautiful Nordic Shelter at Perisher. Last year's event drew 47 participants.
Pre-entry will be available later this year, but if you wish to enter on the day please email the organisers (Marina Iskhakova and Fedor Iskhakov) in advance so they know how many maps to print.
Coincidentally, Sydneysider and occasional orienteer Paul McDonald was in Swedish Lapland last week for the World Masters Ski O champs. Is he the first Australian to compete at WMSOC?
