The National Cross Country Skiing Congress will be held at the Howman's Gap Alpine Centre on 7 and 8 November 1998. The two day workshop provides an opportunity for the cross country community and the key sporting and sking stakeholders to get together to discuss the management and organisation of cross country skiing in Australia.
Howman's Gap is located 4km from Falls Creek, adjacent to the resort entry station.
The specific objectives of the Congress are to:
- establish the appropriate structure and process to serve the varied interests of cross country skiing in Australia
- define the role and structure of the national cross country skiing committee of Skiing Australia
- identify the key sporting and skiing stakeholders with whom SAXC should establish links
- define the objectives of SAXC for the next five years
- develop a five year plan and strategies for the development of Australian cross country skiing to 2003
Other very important objectives are to:
- present the Cross Country Ski Awards at the Cross Country Dinner to recognise contributions to our sport
- socialise and network with like minded people (actually have an enjoyable time)
