The Mount Hotham Free Ski Performance Pathway is a year-round program that identifies individual athletes who show passion and talent for skiing, are focused, enjoy goal orientation and are keen to take their skiing to the next level, and want to ski within a performance and competitive team environment.

This Pathway is aligned with the established Snow Australia Performance Pathways which include Freestyle disciplines  – Moguls, Slopestyle, Big Air and Freeride.

The initial athlete pathway process starts by encouraging the passion and love for the sport of skiing for an athlete to work within a happy team environment. Learning basic life skills and to ski all disciplines on all mountain terrains and enter all freestyle competitions. The development of a chosen ski discipline pathway then becomes a more serious and committed athlete.

This program caters for our Performance Athletes 12 – 18 Years

Athletes and their family wanting to be identified for these pathway programs are required to submit their EOI’s to our head coaches of The Performance Pathway Program, Luka Sinhart and Martin Rowley.

The athletes and their family’s are expected to commit consistently to our ‘on and off snow’ skills development programs  ie.
