Roller-skiing actually has its own World
Cup series performed in the Northern
Hemisphere summer - it’s a proper thing.
The 100m world record for Roller-skiing
is 11.03 seconds. Buy a pair of ‘wheels’
and some tungsten tips to put on your ski
poles and find a path or closed off road to
practice vital on snow skills. In Melbourne
I’ve found well over 50km of roller skiable
trials to roller-ski on. Mostly on bike
paths and in parks. The next best thing,
and something which is very easy, is to go
running with poles. Somewhere hilly is
good for this.

is also what the best skiers in the World are

in December. The reigning World Sprint
Champion Frederico Pellegrino, an Italian,

DISABLED WINTERSPORT AUSTRALIA
        Disabled Wintersport Australia President,
        Paul Lamb is excited about what the new
        facility can offer its members.
        “It allows us to serve unmet demand in
        our disability programs with accessible
        accommodation,” He said.
        At a guess, around 50 people attended
        the opening – enjoying a round of
        speeches, a couple of fine videos showing
        the experience of young and older DWA
        members before then going outside to enjoy
        the actions of Danielle Green as she broke
        the Champagne bottle to ‘launch’ the new
        Alpine Accessible Accommodation Centre.
        Another pleasing part of the weekend was
        the informal chat and tipple courtesy of
        Falls Creek Alpine Association, this year
        hosted by the AAC. The business part was                          FCAA President David Risby hands a cheque for $750 to Paul Lamb, President of DWA. Pic – Ken Bell
