What a day for The Lads!
The boys managed to sell over $1,000 worth of merch today!
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat, purchased some merch, or simply showed their support.
Thank you, Riverland, for always getting behind our community and supporting such an amazing cause.
The lads were pretty excited with their efforts today and should be incredibly proud of themselves.
One step closer to Ski For Life 2027! 💪

The Lads are at the Monash Markets today!
Come down and say hi, grab some Ski For Life merch and support the boys as they start working towards Ski For Life 2027.
They'll be hanging around the merch trailer all morning and would love to see some familiar faces.

💙 Some Extra Fun Along the Way 💙
Ski 4 Life wasn’t just about the kilometres — there were plenty of laughs, fun moments and memories made along the way.
From time on the river together to all the little moments in between, it’s been an experience the boys will never forget.
A very special thank you to the dads for their time, support and encouragement throughout the journey — none of this would have been possible without you.
And a big thanks to the mums for holding down base camp at Discovery Caravan Park, cheering the boys on and supporting them every step of the way.
What an amazing few days for everyone involved. 👏
🚤 Dads Having a Blast!
While the boys were smashing out the kilometres, the dads were having plenty of fun in the boat too!
Lots of laughs, good banter and a great few days on the river supporting the boys through the Ski 4 Life journey.
Couldn’t have done it without them! 💙
🌊 Father & Son Ski 🌊
One of the cool moments from the weekend was Olly jumping on the ski with his dad Nick on Sunday, leaving from Berri.
Pretty special to share a ski together during Ski 4 Life and have a crack on the Mighty Murray side by side.
A great memory for the boys and something they’ll definitely remember. 💙
🏁 They Brought It Home! 🏁
Jack, Olly and Max have officially finished their Ski 4 Life journey with Team Ski for T — and what an incredible effort it was.
Over the three days they skied the majority of the 456km, missing only about 27km of the entire distance. An unbelievable achievement for these boys.
We are so incredibly proud of what they’ve done — the determination, the teamwork, and the courage they showed every step of the way while raising awareness for mental health across regional SA.
Well done boys. You did it! 💙

💙 Thanks Berri Ski Club!
A big thank you to the Berri Ski Club who generously donated money for every dry start achieved today for Ski 4 Life.
Unfortunately, Bobby came off just short of a dry start, but we still loved seeing him give it a crack!
We really appreciate the support and encouragement from the ski community — it means a lot to the boys and the cause.

🌴🎿 Dress Up Day – Jamaican Bobsled Team! 🎿🌴
Ski 4 Life wouldn’t be complete without Dress Up Day, and this year the boys channelled the Jamaican Bobsled Team!
Safe to say the boys had a blast and a big laugh!!!
🎙️ Throwback to Thursday!
Before the Ski 4 Life journey began, Jack and Olly jumped on ABC Riverland Radio on Thursday morning to chat about taking on the 456km challenge as part of Team Ski for T.
They might have been a little nervous, but they did an awesome job sharing why they’re skiing for mental health across regional SA.
