Wintersport Hub

Thirty-seven athletes have been selected to compete at the Special Olympics Australia National Winter Games in Mt Buller from 15-18 July 2024.

From there a team will be selected to represent Australia at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Italy from 8-17 March 2025. For some athletes, like snowboarder Craig Muhlbock, they will be seeking Australian selection for the third time.

Others will be aiming to represent Australia for the first time, and all will be supported by our dedicated volunteers to achieve their dreams.

The National Winter Games comes before the kick-off of our Wintersport season for 2024 where we will be hosting more camps for more athletes, as well as introducing two new sports – snowshoeing and cross-country skiing – in addition to our exciting disciplines of Alpine skiing and snowboarding.

If you’d like to help reduce the cost of participation for our wintersport athletes please consider a donation.

2024 Wintersport Calendar

Winter is here and so is our 2024 Wintersport Calendar. It’s full of camps and activities on the NSW and VIC ski fields...and it’s bigger and better than ever. So, we excited to be able up offer the winter experience to more athletes and volunteers.

New athletes and volunteers keen to hit the slopes – regardless of winter experience or ability – are strongly encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest form to take part in the season (average cost for a camp is $2,200 per participant).

Be quick because spots are limited for 2024. But, we look forward to expanding in 2025.
