Aspiring
ski champions can take their first steps towards inter-service
glory by contesting the 2006 Navy Alpine Snowsports Championships
at Mt Buller in Victoria from July 30 to August 5.
The annual championship aims to enhance personal, mental, and
physical qualities in competitors and foster team spirit, as
well as developing skiers and snowboarders for competition at
inter-service level.
Ships, establishments and commands are invited to send teams
to compete at the championship for the Naval Alpine Sports team
trophy. Teams must include a minimum of four skiers and two
snowboarders (maximum of six skiers and four snowboarders).
If insufficient numbers are available to form a team, individual
nominations will be accepted and will be allocated to a composite
team.
Teams and individuals will be competing for the following: team
champion (overall), team champion (handicap), overall men’s
and women’s champions, men’s and women’s slalom
championships, men’s and women’s grand slalom championships,
an overall snowboard champion, the Trevor Reeves Team Spirit
Trophy and the Terry Nealer Award.
The program of events, race rules and safety management plan
are available on the NAS website: www.navysnowsports.com.
