North Island Primary & Intermediate School Ski Championships

This year we will be entering a team in the North Island Primary and Intermediate School Ski Champs (NIPs) which will be held at Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu between 30 August – 2 September. The team will be made up of up to 5 Skiers between Year 1-6 who will travel down on Sunday 29 August for the event.

Due to the nature of the competition and the environment it is being held in, competitors will need to be able to race gates and have previous on-
mountain experience.

Competitors may also attend training sessions to be held at Snow Planet with certified instructors during July / August. Parents will be responsible for your child throughout their attendance at the training sessions and competition.

Costs will be finalised once the number of competitors, accommodation requirements etc are confirmed. As an indication, approximate costs for entry
& accommodation based on 2019 are:

• Race Entry per student:            $90
• Accommodation:                        $120 per night (per room, 2 people)
• Lift pass (Sun-Thurs)                $85 per student (if required)
