The 2025 Redlands Cup was a thrilling start to the interschool snowsports season, with Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) athletes performing exceptionally well in wild alpine conditions.
Held at Thredbo Resort, the event brought together student-athletes from across the state to compete in gusty winds, icy terrain and low visibility. Despite the challenging weather, SMGS students showed outstanding resilience and focus across all divisions.
From first-time racers to seasoned competitors, the team delivered multiple podium finishes and strong results in both individual and team categories. It was a clear display of depth, determination and teamwork.
Lily (Division 3) recorded the fastest female time of the entire event with a blistering 21.34 seconds securing the Thredbo Cup and winning a holiday to Verbier, Switzerland for 7 days. SMGS teams also took home first place in several divisions, continuing the school’s strong tradition of success at this event.
“The conditions were tough, but our students showed incredible resilience and composure. To start the season with so many podium finishes across all age groups is a credit to their preparation and the support team around them. It’s a fantastic launchpad for the weeks ahead.”
