Ski-O is back for 2026!🧭
Have you been inspired by the Merino Muster race and want another event to add to your Snow Farm calendar this season?
Ski-O is a fun and adventurous navigation event exploring the trails of Snow Farm and backcountry of the Pisa Range. Teams plan their own route and have either two or five hours to collect as many checkpoints as they can.
They can travel by snowshoe, cross country ski or touring ski. The event is suitable for families and beginners to orienteering, as well as competitive orienteers. Terrain is a mixture of groomed trail and off piste rolling country.
