From Slalom to Super Cross, and from the Grand Slalom to the Super G - there is an event for everyone. And for the super enthusiastic the week culminates in the Interclub Race Series - join the KAC team and race for our Club. Stay at Thredbo Lodge to enjoy delicious meals, generous hosts and club camaraderie.
- The 2026 Carnival starts with a race on Monday (the race schedule was a little tricky this year). then a Training Session with qualified ski racing instructors on Tuesday, continues with one or two races a day from Wednesday to Friday, and, for the really keen, finish the week competing in the Thredbo Lodges Senior Interclub Carnival on Saturday - Join us for one race or stay for the full program!
