Beginning Torrumbarry Weir Boat Ramp, racers make their way to Will’s Bend from 9am.
The return leg is scheduled to begin at 1pm to finish back at Torrumbarry, clocking up 100km in total.
The event was created in honour of the late ski racing legend Barrie Beehag, a member of Moama Water Sports Club, serving as director, treasurer and president in his 19 years.
In 2023, team Sapphire took the win, reaching the finish line in 39:01.31.
Their crew consisted of driver Tim Pickford, observer Brian Griffin, skier Lachlan Nix and Aiden Cuff.
It is expected that more than 100 teams will participate in this year’s event, with entrants in last year’s event coming from across Victoria and NSW, as well as Queensland.
Ski racing is currently suspended due to an ongoing review by Ski Racing Australia, following consecutive fatalities in the sport.
However, Beehag organisers are confident the event will go ahead and have continued to plan for both Beehag and next year’s Southern 80.
The Beehag 100 will be held at Torrumbarry Weir Boat Ramp from 9am on Saturday, November 16.
