The Multiclass Snowsports Championship race is a Giant Slalom event that gives primary and secondary school students the opportunity to compete at the Snow Australia Interschools in their own race, while being part of the wider championship atmosphere. It’s a chance for athletes of all abilities to experience the excitement of racing, build confidence, and connect with a supportive snowsports community.
In the lead-up to race day, participants can also take part in a 2-day development clinic (17–18 August) with Mt Buller ski school instructors, with additional support from experienced Disabled Wintersport Australia guides – a fantastic opportunity to build skills and prepare for the race.
Adult athletes with intellectual impairment or Autism are also invited to take part through the Special Olympics Australia pathway, creating an inclusive alpine racing experience for athletes of all ages.
Since being founded in 2013, the Multiclass Event has continued to grow, creating meaningful opportunities for young athletes with disability to be part of Victorian Interschools Snowsports Championships and experience the magic of alpine racing.
