Club Championships in XC, Alpine and Snowboard were held recently.
The XC Championships were held as part of the KAC Classic, from Perisher to Charlotte Pass, on Wednesday 9 August 2017. Unusually for the KAC, it was a beautiful day!
The Alpine and Snowboard Championships were held as part of the ACT Citizens Race, on Sunday 13 August 2017.
Results are on the Race Results page, with links to the full results for each race.
The Brumby Races were held on Saturday 22nd July, on Upper Rollercoaster at Blue Cow. Despite forecast wind, the day turned out to be really nice for weather.
The Brumby Races are held on a dual GS course. Each racer had two timed runs – one on the red course, and one on the blue, racing next to another racer.
The timed runs are used to determine the winners of the Brumby Cup – but not directly. A random draw of to match up the men and women was held at the Brumby Dinner on Saturday night, and results for that are given below the timed runs.
Racers also participated in the President’s Cup – a knockout, also using the dual GS course, held after the timed runs. The winner of each pair progressed to the next round.
Results are on the Race Results page.

Forward Capital Works discussion paper
The slalom discipline was cancelled due to snow conditions in this year’s Balmain Cup, which had a couple of flow on effects – the Snowboard was brought forward, and not all of our original competitors could make it in time; and a decision was made that the GS discipline results would be counted twice, to allow clubs to still drop their worst discipline from the results. This resulted in a very close competition, with the top four teams being separated by less than five points (out of a possible 300).
CAC came fourth overall, with some good individual results – Jordan Thompson third and Alia Moore 5th in the GS, and Val and Ric Guseli picking up 4th and 7th respectively in the Snowboard.

And the photo? No, that’s not from the 2016 Balmain Cup – it’s from the 1957 Balmain Cup, held at Mt Franklin, and won by Cabramurra!
Various CAC Club Championships were held recently.
The XC Championships were held in conjunction with the KAC Classic race from Perisher to Charlotte Pass, on Wednesday August 10, in very windy conditions. Tim Greville was the fastest CAC skier, coming in 6th overall.

I’ll start with the good news – Matt Thomas came 2nd and Valentino Guseli 4th in the snowboard (CAC was 2nd in the snowboard overall), Jordan Thompson came 2nd in the GS, Shaun Kenny 3rd in the slalom. However 4 dq’s in the first run of the slalom knocked that discipline out of contention, and while we came 3rd (a whisker away from 2nd) in the XC, Cooma completely dominated with six of the first seven finishers (Tim Greville being the one to spoil their party by finishing fifth, after spending the day running the Paddy Pallin Juniors); Cooma was so far ahead in the XC that 2nd placegetters (Brindabella) only got 68.5 points (we got 68.02).
So – rooster to feather duster – overall we came fifth (less than a point behind Tate). A bit more practice and luck in the slalom (and nobbling Cooma in the XC?) and we’ll be back up there…
Congratulations to Cooma, who won the snowboard as well as XC, and took home the Balmain Cup this year.
And of course congratulations to all our competitors, who actually performed significantly better than the overall result would suggest.
