DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY:
North Island Primary & Intermediate Schools Ski Championships 2025
Please note students must be confident and competent to compete. This sport is heavily reliant on parents in terms of attendance and logistics. This is offered as a one off competitive event for competent skiers. Skiers must be able to use the tow ropes and must have a parent with them for the week.
The North Island School Ski Champs is a fantastic opportunity to experience Alpine Ski Racing in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you're a seasoned racer or trying it for the first time, you'll have a blast competing alongside your schoolmates.
After a break in recent years, organisers are pleased to bring the event back for 2025. For more details head to : https://www.whakapapa.com/nips
