Australian Uni Champs
Australian Uni Champs is the main event of the SUBSKI racing calendar and over the past few years we have maintained our position as one of the strongest competing teams with 1st in 2007, 3rd in 2008 and 2nd in 2009. If, by chance you ARE a competitive skier, Canadian, or have spent every summer in Aspen since you were 5, Subski wants YOU to help us re-claim the coveted trophy in 2010!
The 2010 AUCs will be at Mt Buller, VIC from 29 Aug to 2 Sept. The total cost will be about $800 to $1000 (TBA, includes a refundable bond and social expenses).
THE EVENTS
Snowboard: snowboard GS, half pipe, snowboard cross, snowboard slopestyle and rails
Cross Country: individual and team
Alpine: slalom, GS and Super G
Freestyle: Skiercross, moguls, slopestyle, rails and half pipe
SELECTION
The selection of the team is done on the basis of each individual’s skill level. HOWEVER, large numbers of points are awarded for participation. So it is essential that Subski has heaps of entrants for every single event. Even if you are not a competitive skier you should apply as it will be highly likely you will get a position in the team.
Chances are you popped any racing experience you had on your membership form. However, if you battle, and you didn’t let us know that you’re a “fully sick” skier/boarder, shoot an email through to one of our AUCs boys at subski_aucs@live.com.au. The team will be determined in early June and participants will be contacted.
GETTING OUT OF CLASSES
As AUCs is in semester time, the lovely Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness arranges for competing athletes to get full exemption from all classes and assessments during that week, and also sometimes assessments due close to the dates.
