About AMSA

AMSA was created to give Masters Ski Racing a National Idenity, provide representation for masters skiers, help promote and develope ski racing in Australia.

AMSA runs the annual Australian Masters Championships. The championships consist of three races: Slalom, Giant Slalom and Super G. These races are run to FIS standards on technical and challenging courses.

This year sees the introduced of a new competition to find our Australian Male and Female Champions, in each of the disciplines: SL, GS and SG.  Points can be accumulated by competing in races in both NSW and Victoria. (See elsewhere for details). I encourage members to embrace this new racing series.

The International Masters Cup [FMC] is governed by the International Ski Federation [FIS] and it is the preferred competition level for the best Masters racers in the world. The program is primarily based in Europe and also includes annual FIS Masters competitions in South America and North America.

FIS ski length and radius regulations are recommendations only at Masters FIS events including Mount Norquay.
