Due to the cancellation of the 2020 Interschools Snowsport Championships and the current COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria, we brought the Multiclass Event 'on-line' and into our athlete's homes, as a virtual event.
This event included a snowsport-inspired participation stage for each day of our traditional 3-day annual event:
-
Day 1 - SnowActive@Home online training day challenge
-
Day 2 - SnowFit@Home online training day challenge

We welcomed all multiclass athletes and their families to participate throughout the month of August 2020.
