Ski and Snowboard Racing

Racing is one of the main reasons SCV was created and until 1955, it managed all Victorian skiing and ski racing.

Today, race days are competitive, but never at the expense of fun. Everyone who participates gets the credit they deserve – unless their own children beat them (as often happens) and then there is plenty of friendly ribbing all round.

There are always plenty of races to choose from. SCV members can join Saturday racing, member ski-arounds, skills clinics and Saturday race presentations.

SCV Saturday races have helped to create many Australian ski and snowboard champions and the SCV Race Committee is keen to encourage plenty more.

Racing registration is open from 7.00 am -11.00 am each race day at The Whitt reception.

We hope to see you all there.

RACE 2 - DOROTHY TICKLE & ANDREW SWAN CUP

Cable Presents the Inaugural Dorothy Tickle Cup at Mt Buller

An Inclusive Celebration of Women in Ski Racing – Saturday, 19 July 2025

Mt Buller, VIC — On Saturday 19 July, the Ski Club of Victoria and Australian fashion brand Cable will proudly present the inaugural Dorothy Tickle Cup, a women’s ski race held on Little Buller Spur designed to welcome female SCV members of all skiing abilities — from beginners to seasoned racers.

Named in honour of Dorothy Tickle, a trailblazing Australian skier of the 1930s, the event celebrates courage, consistency, and the spirit of participation. Dorothy raced in an era when skiing was largely inaccessible to women — battling snowstorms in heavy wool clothes and proving that determination could outpace limitation. She went on to represent Australia internationally, setting the stage for future generations of female athletes.

The Dorothy Tickle Cup will be awarded to the skier with the smallest time gap between two race runs — a format that levels the playing field and rewards focus, control, and composure over pure speed. Whether you’re racing for the first time or reigniting a lifelong love of the sport, this event invites all female SCV members to join in, have a go, and be part of something uplifting and empowering.

The event is proudly sponsored by Cable, a fashion brand founded by Georgie Austin, who will present the cup following the race. Now in its 18th year with 25 stores nationwide, Cable is known for its commitment to timeless design, natural fibres, and supporting strong women — values deeply aligned with the legacy of Dorothy Tickle.

“Dorothy didn’t just ski — she challenged every expectation placed on women in her time,” says Austin. “This event is a tribute to that same fearless spirit, and we’re thrilled to welcome all female SCV members to the start gates — no matter their level of experience.”

Cable will also host an on-mountain pop-up shop in the Governor’s Lounge on Friday and Saturday featuring their latest Heritage Collection, with every female participant receiving a special gift to commemorate the day.
