Events For the Calender

Winter events Season 24/25

Winter is finally here and hopefully a few of you have made the most of the early snow. Some dates to look forward to below. As always our races dates are driven by conditions and we will keep the website calendar and Facebook updated with any changes.

Christmas Quiz

Our first event will be the annual Christmas Quiz. The quiz will be held on Thursday 19th December at HNOC. Start time will be 1930. Teams will be made up on the night.

Banchory Rollerski sessions

Working with SnowsportScotland, we are piloting some activity in the Banchory area, because we know we have quite a few members in that area. To start with, there will be monthly Saturday morning rollerski sessions led by a coach at Knockburn Loch. Initially sessions will be for people of any age with some rollerski experience, but if there is interest in beginner sessions then that will be considered in the future. Rollerski equipment can be provided, but must be requested in advance of the sessions.

Participants to arrive for 0930 with sessions running 0945 – 1115.

Dates:

  • Sat 15 Feb 2025
  • Sat 15 March 2025

Huntly Sprints and Clash Hill Climb

The scottish rollerski series begins the 2024 season with the Huntly sprints on Saturday 25th May. Competitors battle it out over multiple time trial course and seeded head to head knock out race to find out who is fastest round our track.

This is then followed by the grueling Clashindarroch Hill Climb on Sunday 26th May. The course begins in the historic hamlet of Rhynie climbing 202m over 8.05km to the Forest car park through a rural glen.

Entries close Wednesday 22nd May.

HNSC Provisional Winter Calendar

Our provisional winter calendar can be found here Items in red or highlighted need to be finalised. This version is as of 25/10/19. I still need dates for the British champs in Ruhpolding and the date for the End of Season Mountain Tour will be weather dependent – here’s hoping it ends up being late in April

Lecht Winter Games

This season  snow factory technology will be trialled at several downhill centres this winter (Lecht, Glencoe, Cairngorm). BSS & SSS are involved with the Lecht trial where ~500m of x/c trail will be put in place. The flier from BSS gives an idea of what is going on. The club will be involved in the cross-country element of the project & organising things over the weekend 17/18 Feb 2018

The entry form can be found here:

Please can entry forms be returned prior to the event if at all possible.

A big change this year is for the Sprints in that we will be using our new Marwe 610 rollerskis. However the old Marwe barrel wheeled rollerskis will be available for those who prefer to use them. For the Hill Climb you need to bring your own classic rollerskis.

Update 9th May 2017

The entry form has been updated with the new race start time for the Clash Hill Climb. The race will now start at 9.30am and competitors need to meet at Rhynie at 8.30am.
