Racing at AACFC

Ski racing has always been an important part of AAC Falls Creek.

Club Race

The annual club race is held every August, open to all members and their families & guests. It caters for all ages with trophies for children, men, women and over 50s.

The children race for the Sam Barker Memorial trophy in memory of the members' child who tragically died in childhood.

Success in the club race is an important factor in selection for the interclub race.

AAC Interclub Race

Rivalry between the AAC clubs is fierce. Held annually, the intercub race is for The Rosyln Wesche Memorial Cup. It is named to honour and remember, Roslyn, who at 18 was the only person killed at Kunama Huette ski lodge when the avalanche hit on Mount Kosciusko in 1956. AAC Falls Creek is very well represented in the trophy inscriptions.

Falls Creek Race Club

Many members and children of members are alumni of the race club. The discipline of race training provides them with unrivalled skills for a lifetime of skiing. A number have gone on to become ski instructors.

The cross country race calendar culminates in the international Kangaroo Hoppet race with events suited to beginners up to olympians. The club has an increasing number of members who cross country ski and participate in this important race.
