This is the first major event on the Kiwi circuit that will see N.Z's top riders footing it with hot foreign riders calling N.Z home for the winter. Several top Europeans made the competition interesting and kept local hotshots honest.

Giant Slalom
This high speed event was won by top Euro David Perraudin with the best kiwi coming 3rd (Mark Begg)
Of course the girls was cleaned up by Pam Bell as usual.

Slalom
Unfortunately it seems that the Euros were onto it and ended up Chris Settle & Alex Languetin 1st & 2nd with Greg Prouse the top Kiwi at 3rd.
