Lock a New Date! – 17th August 2025.
Start between 10.00am – 11.00.
The 2025 ACT & NSW Ski-Orienteering Championship will be held at Perisher Valley on Sunday 17 August, organised by Red Roo, Big Foot and Perisher X Country. This event forms part of XC Ski week (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 11th Championship, after Swedish ski-o expert Patrik Gunnarsson brought the concept back to Perisher in 2014.
There were 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!
