Redlands Snowsports Captain Zoe Spanos will be competing in her 12th and sadly her last Redlands Cup this year. There have been many pistes skied for Zoe, who first slalomed the Redlands Cup gates when she was in year 1. She has been a great competitor over the last 11 race seasons that has seen her rack up an impressive list of wins and a bucket load of medals from the variety of ski racing that takes place across Australia every winter, including  Interschools, ski clubs, SSA and FIS races. Zoe also heads to Colorado every northern winter to keep her skis running and loves to train and compete in The Rockies where she enjoys the steeper and longer runs to hone her skills in her preferred speed events of Downhill and Super G.  Her consistently high performance has earned her a place on the Australian U18 National Alpine Team.

Her Redlands Cup highlights includes winning her race division on 4  separate occasions (2009, 2010, 2011 & 2013) with her performance in the 2009 renewal crowning her the fastest girl on the mountain when only in year 9! Zoe has also been National Interschools Champion twice in 2008 & 2013 and last year finished as runner up. But not all risk ends with reward, she cites her crash in the 2014 Redlands Cup as the best of her race career! Hopefully this year, instead of a stack, she can go out with a bang and end her Redlands Cup career with one last gold.

Go-e Zoe!
