The Kangaroo Hoppet Waxing Fundraiser has been contributing $4,000+ annually towards XC Ski Team athlete expenses for over a decade. All funds go into the XC Towards 2030 pool, which is predominantly used to pay for athlete accommodation and transport expenses at major international events. Key events for next season are the 2027 World Championships in Sweden and the 2027 World Junior-U23 Championship in Estonia.

Drop your skis off at the Windy Corner Cross Country Centre at Falls Creek to be waxed by team coaches and athletes, with pick-up on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

For 2026 there are two waxing options:

Fluor-Free World Cup Option - $75
- Swix Fluor-free Top Speed Wax (Marathon or similar)
- Rilling (variable, depending on conditions)

 

Fluor-Free Continental Cup Option - $50
- Swix Fluor-free Mid-Range wax (HS8 or similar)
- Riling (variable, depending on conditions)

 

  

Payment can also be made by cash at the Falls Creek XC centre when you drop off your skis. For any questions, contact Finn Marsland: fmarsland@snow.org.au

Have fast skis and support the team!
