WINTER GAMES NZ - AUGUST 22-30, 2009
QUEENSTOWN, LAKE WANAKA, NASEBY, DUNEDIN
The only event of its kind outside the Winter Olympics, Winter Games NZ features over 800 of the world's top athletes competing in 26 snow sports disciplines ranging from ski racing to curling, snowboarding to skating as well as a full adaptive skiing programme, all against the spectacular backdrop of the Southern Alps and Otago.
Winter Games NZ provides elite winter sports athletes from around the world 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 giving athletes an invaluable training opportunity. Many of the medal winners on the podium in Vancouver in 2010 will have honed their skills on the slopes of the Southern Alps, whether in the halfpipe, on the racecourse or the ice rink.
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.
The first Winter Games NZ will take place at Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Cardrona Alpine Resort, Snow Farm, Naseby and Dunedin from August 21 to 30 2009. For further information, visit www.wintergamesnz.com
Tickets for ice skating, ice hockey, curling and the closing ceremony are available through TicketDirect. All other sports are free for spectators.
