After a two-year hiatus due to covid restrictions, Australia's biggest free heeling event was back! The Kangaroo Hopper is an iconic and challenging 42km Worldloppet international cross-country ski event held in the Bogong High Plains. The course meanders throughout Australia's unique alpine environment, taking in the unique flora and fauna that resides there. Skiers will need a good level of fitness and experience to successfully ski the fully groomed undulating course, which climbs up onto Heathy Spur to reveal spectacular views over Rocky Valley Dam, Falls Creek, and the surrounding High Plains.
This week, Ronice Goebel joins us to talk about the history of the Kangaroo Hoppet and her involvement with the Birkebeiner ski club over her 28 years of participating and volunteering. We discuss just how important this race is for the community and how it fits into the bigger picture of international racing.
Ronice also took shares her two scents about the preposed lakeside development and the movement started that's opposed to it.
