    You can do it now at Rainbow - enrol in the 2010 Season Development Programme now!

    Welcome to the 2010 Rainbow Development Programme. Hopefully you have had the chance to have some fantastic days of skiing already this season, and with the recent snowfalls setting up for some fantastic skiing conditions for the remaining of the season.

    Once again we are running a nine week training programme throughout the season, with 3 hours of training scheduled every Sunday throughout the third term.

    This season I would like to focus on general skiing development as well as race training, with the encouragement of participation in all local race events held. The training session will involve both training in gates, skill developments and conditions permitting, a little free skiing.

     
    Download the information sheet and application forms below. Don't delay - the programme starts straight after the July holidays. You can enrol by posting the application + payment to Rainbow Sports Club Inc, PO Box 76, St Arnaud, Nelson Lakes; or by emailing the application to info@skirainbow.co.nz with payment details (credit card or direct credit); or at the field by going to the Ticket Office.

    Start Date is: Sunday 25th July at 1pm
