New Zealand continues to cement its place on the global winter sports stage.
The inaugural Snow League World Challenge is coming to Cardrona this September – a new Snow League pre-season event.
The league was launched by multiple Olympic committees and X Games gold medallist Shaun White to give winter athletes another strong, consistent platform.
He told Piney the format is all about bringing something new to the table, and for this event they really wanted to keep fans engaged during the Northern hemisphere’s offseason.
White says the feedback so far has been amazing, and it’s the biggest humbling experience to have athletes really love the event.
