The Snow League is gearing up to bring the world's top halfpipe snowboarders and free-skiers to New Zealand next month, with an elite international field headlined by a strong contingent of Kiwis competing on their home snow. 

Season Two will begin with the inaugural Snow League World Challenge at Cardrona, a first-of-its-kind international event. 

The event will feature 16 athletes representing four teams: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Challengers with each team represented by one male and female snowboarder alongside one male and female freeski athlete. 

Luke Harrold is one of the most exciting young stars of New Zealand freeskiing, and is competing with the Asia-Pacific team. 

He joined Piney to chat about competing in the Snow League.
