Club: Some dodgy club ?

URGENT UPDATE:

Due to a very unfavorable and unsafe forecast of wet weather and very strong winds for Sunday, the ACT and NSW Ski-Orienteering Championships have been moved to Saturday 8th August. To accommodate as many as possible Ski-Oers, START WINDOW is extended to 9AM - 1PM, means you can start from the Nordic Shelter any time in that window (which allows many who travels from NSW / or plans for a day at downhill slope - to enjoy both). Day entries will be available from 9am until 1pm.
We bring very sincere apologies to everyone who planned their trip for Sunday only or had different plans for Saturday.
This decision is not ideal, but should benefit the majority of participants more than canceling the event entirely.
We really hope you still will be able to make it to the event on Saturday and enjoy the only Ski-O event in Australia in safe and enjoyable weather conditions:)!
Online Entries will be accepted here until Friday 23:59 https://eventor.orienteering.asn.au/Events/Show/23595
We very much looking forward to Welcome you at the beautiful and warm Nordic Shelter on Saturday starting 9am.

Venue: Perisher Valley, The Nordic Shelter.

The 2026 ACT and NSW Ski-Orienteering Championship will be held at Perisher Valley on SATURDAY 8th August, organised by Red Roo, Big Foot and Perisher X Country. This event forms part of XC Ski week ( www.perisherxcountry.org ) with the start in front of the beautiful, warm and special Nordic Shelter at Perisher.

Everyone who loves or dreams of trying Skiing or Orienteering, will be able to take an opportunity to combine both skills and to take part in our exciting Championship. It will be the 12th Championship, after Swedish ski-o expert Patrik Gunnarsson brought the concept back to Perisher in 2014. It was no events in 2020-2021 due to the Covid. It is the only Ski-O event in Australia and among the only few in the Southern Hemisphere!
