100% Pure New Zealand Winter Games

The largest winter sports event outside of the Winter Olympics, the 100% Pure New Zealand Winter Games is a unique winter sports competition that provides the world’s elite winter sports athletes with the ultimate testing ground where they can experiment and explore performance limits against world class competition.

Every four years, the Games will act as a direct lead-up to the Winter Olympics providing athletes with an invaluable training opportunity.

The first 100% Pure New Zealand Winter Games will take place at Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Cardrona Alpine Resort, Snow Farm, Naseby and Dunedin in August 2009 and will feature disciplines of alpine skiing, free skiing, x-country skiing, snowboarding, curling, ice skating and adaptive snow sports.

The ten-day long Games also include plenty of off-snow activities for spectators and athletes with live music and entertainment in downtown Queenstown and Wanaka.
