We are encouraging 'enthusiasm over experience' and we'd love you to join us at the 2025 KAC Club Carnival

KAC Club Carnival Week at Thredbo is a brilliant opportunity for KAC Members (and their guests) to try their skills on the international standard Thredbo Race Courses. The week commences with Race Training under the watchful eye of expert level Thredbo Ski Instructors, then follows on with daily races on the different racecourses in the different styles. From Slalom to Super Cross, and from the Grand Slalom to the Super G - there is an event for everyone. And for the super enthusiastic the week culminates in the Interclub Race Series - join the KAC team and race for our Club. Stay at Thredbo Lodge to enjoy delicious meals, generous hosts and club camaraderie.

  • The Carnival starts with a Training Session with qualified ski racing instructors on Tuesday, continues with one or two races a day from Wednesday to Friday, and, for the really keen, finish the week competing in Lodges Interclub Carnival on Saturday - Join us for one race or stay for the full program!
  • If you'd like to stay at KAC during the Carnival we have rooms available, but if you're staying elsewhere we still love you to join us.
