The Interschools Snowsports Championships are a series of competitions where students compete for their school as part of a team or as an individual in any of our nine discipline events.
Thousands of students have been introduced to competitive ski and snowboard competitions through the Interschools Champions, establishing a life-long love for the sport.
From Interschools, many students have gone on to professional instructing, coaching and/or competing in higher level competitions, including World Cups and the Olympics. Over 80 Australian Olympians and Paralympians have began their competition days in the Interschools Snowsport Championships.
Who can enter?
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, participants should be able to perform linked turns and confidently use a chairlift or T-bar before competing at the Regional level.
Students who meet or are above this skill level are welcome to join, with a string emphasis on fun and participation at the Regional Championships. As the competition advances to the State and Australian Championships, the level of challenge and intensity gradually increases.
What if my school does not already complete?
It is important to note that new schools can enter the Interschools Championships if they have not competed before, or for a long time.
You don't need to create a team to enter; individual entries are open. Many competitors are either the only snow sports participants from their school, or there are only a few participants from different disciplines and divisions.
How and when do you enter?
Online entries open in May each year. Visit the Interschools website for more information: https://www.interschools.com.au/home-nsw-act-qld-sa
