The 4* venue is back in the iconic Alta Chutes.
Spectators are invited and encouraged to come and watch. It's free to view the events once you're on the mountain. Please check out the spectator map below!
You'll need a lift pass for The Remarkables Ski Area to access the 2* venue in Shadow Basin- take the Shadow Basin chair up and ski down a blue run to the finish area; there is no walking access to this location.
To access the 4* finish area on Lake Alta, there are 2 ways to get there- Advanced skiers & boarders can access from the top of Curvy Basin Chair with an off-piste steep traverse the push across the lake, or you can load Alta Chair as a foot passenger (pass required) and walk up to the lake, snow shoes advised, approximately 45 mins.
At the finish areas, we have music, a BBQ and MCs commentating and explaining what's going on and who is competing. Come join the fun, watch the show and support local and international stars as they take on the steep rocky competition faces. Each athlete only gets one run.
Prize giving will be on the deck at the Remarkables cafe after the competition has finished.
There will be an after-party the night of the 4*, location TBC in Wānaka; come party with the crew.
