The NSWACT XC School Holidays Camps are still a golden opportunity for young XC athletes to experience, develop and enjoy everything about XC skiing.

NSWACT XC School Holidays Program Week 2 provided mixed weather conditions and no new snow, but the NSWACT XC crew skied every day, improving their skills and resilience and producing a high degree of hilarity and entertainment for themselves (and hopefully those around them…).

A highlight of Week 2 was the Waxing Information session provided by Richard Burton at Snowy Mountains Sports. Richard kindly shared his expertise of ski waxes and the mechanics of waxing. Thank you Richard and Liam! The evening bonus was dinner at the Bowlo and the chance to get to know others who are involved in the Winter Program as participants, parents and organisers.

The Information session will be followed on in Week 3 with a Practical Waxing Night, for Winter Program participants, in the garage at 36 Candlebark/1 Mitchell Circuit and BBQ between 5 and 7pm. There will be multiple benches and opportunities to practice, learn and share tips about ski waxing. Be sure to RSVP!

The plans for this coming weekend include a long adventure ski on Saturday morning and training around the Cooma Clean Out the Wax Box/Cobwebs event on Sunday at 10am – your choice of Classic and Freestyle and enter on the day. Be sure to RSVP if you plan to participate.

Intrepid volunteer shovellers and Arnold on the Ginzu have been keeping XC tracks open every day for the athletes and many other XC skiers – feel free to provide an hour on the shovel anytime! Next week is promising real snow, so if you are planning on joining the NSWACT XC Crew for Week 3, please register ASAP so coaches and organisers can plan. Daily training communication information will be sent only to those who are registered. Skiing, skills and play will be the focus of the week.
