TL;DR
The annual Kangaroo Hoppet cross-country race, set for Falls Creek in August, has been cancelled for 2024 due to rapidly deteriorating snow conditions and an unfavourable weather forecast. This marks the second consecutive year the event has been called off, disappointing both international athletes and local participants.
The organisers of the Kangaroo Hoppet have announced that the 2024 edition of the 42km cross-country ski race has been cancelled. Unfortunately, poor snow conditions on the course and a forecast of warm temperatures and rain over the coming week have made it impossible to host the event this year. “Unfortunately the 2024 Kangaroo Hoppet has been cancelled due to rapidly deteriorating snow conditions on the course, combined with a weather forecast of warm temperatures and rain in the next week, which means it is not possible to host an event on the scale of the Kangaroo Hoppet. ”
