St Arnaud Ski Race Foundation

Ski Racing at Rainbow

The St Arnaud Ski Race Foundation was formed 15 years ago, it is a not for profit incorporated society, and is responsible for organizing all the ski races at Rainbow throughout the winter season. The organization was founded to help promote and facilitate ski racing in the top of the south. The Foundation puts any surplus funds it has back into ski racing. It does this by supporting young racers, buying race equipment and keeping the cost of ski racing at Rainbow down to accessible levels, for all who wish to participate.

With a hard core committee of 8 and many extra helpers on race days, the Foundation organizes race registrations, (with help from Sport Tasman for the Intersecondary school event), and come race day with logistical help from the Rainbow staff set up the race hill, electronic timing for most races, and then when the race is over, results are calculated and a prize giving in front of the café completes the race day.

Rainbow Summer Work Programme

The Rainbow Summer Work Party programme is starting this Sunday the 7th February, and we are seeking keen helpers to come up and assist with a wide variety of tasks...

Don't plan anything this weekend ...

Except coming up to Rainbow! Forget the garden, forget the beach, we're expecting loads of fresh, cold, new snow just for us :)

Wow! Perfect Spring Conditions ...

Had a great day up at the field yesterday, Sunday, in perfect spring conditions - there's still loads of fast spring corn snow to be had!

Rail and Jump Jam

The Cheapskates Burton Rail and Jump Jam was held over the weekend with perfect weather. Spectacular Jumps and Rails made for a great competition.
