Charlotte Pass Open 2025

The Charlotte Pass Open is the oldest ski race on the KAC Calendar and possibly the oldest continually run ski race in Australia.  Over the past 100 years the race has been run in many forms and in a variety of locations.  The modern Charlotte Pass Open starts and finishes in front of the Kosciusko Chalet at Charlotte Pass and is a 5km loop race around the valley.

The Race is open to all ages and abilities, it is fabulous fun and a great way to try cross country ski racing for the first time.  Join us for a BBQ Lunch and Prize Giving Ceremony at The Lodge, KAC Charlotte Pass after the race.
