The Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Ski races are being held on Sunday 23 August 2015. This is an event where teams representing their schools participate for both individual and team awards. This fun skiing event consists of a dual slalom course for boys and girls of all age groups from Year 1 to Year 8. No previous ski-racing experience is necessary, merely sufficient skill to ride a T-bar ski lift and to ski groomed, easy slopes. There will be medals for individual performance, plus an overall team trophy for both Primary and Intermediate school teams. The emphasis is on fun, and introducing children to the excitement of ski-racing. Most of the children's time will be spent just skiing freely and enjoying other activities on the day.
