Celebrations of Australian skiing history underway
2011 is an historic year for Australian skiing, and the 150-year milestone is being celebrated across the nation's ski fields by many organizations. These include Ski Resort Operators, Historical Societies, Museums, Snow Australia videos, snow sport groups, national and local newspapers and ski clubs.
In 1961, very successful and colorful centenary celebrations were conducted but clouded by doubt and skepticism by much of the population. This year's anniversary is free of any previous negativity.
2006 saw the Holmenkollen Ski Museum of Norway confirming that in 1861 the world's first ski clubs were formed in both Norway and Australia. In 2011 FIS joins the congratulations for this important Australian anniversary, together for Kiandra's inaugural position in alpine skiing in the world.
To share in the celebrations, please see below to view two videos commemorating the rich history of Australian skiing.
