🏁Serac Races

Saturday 29 August 2026

One of the highlights of the Serac calendar is back!

Join us for an afternoon of friendly competition as members of all ages race to see who will be crowned Serac's Fastest Skier or Snowboarder.

Whether you're chasing the fastest time, racing your kids, or simply cheering everyone on from the sidelines, the annual club races are all about getting together, having fun, and enjoying a great day on the mountain.

Everyone is welcome to enter. Depending on numbers and ages, we'll organise race categories on the day so everyone gets a fair chance to compete. The overall fastest skier or snowboarder will earn their place on the Serac trophy.

After racing, we'll head back to the lodge for a relaxed prizegiving. While we'll celebrate our fastest racers, we also like to recognise the moments that make the day memorable. Expect a few light-hearted awards for things like Best First-Time Racer, Most Determined, Biggest Smile, or Best Stack! (for the most spectacular tumble). At Serac, the club races are about much more than winning—they're about taking part, encouraging each other, and making memories together.
