Lake Wanaka, New Zealand (27 July 2015) – Registration is now open for The North Face® Freeski Open of New Zealand Big Mountain. With a line up including some of the world’s finest freeriders and the stunning terrain of The Remarkables ski field as the competition venue, the stage is set for another epic event. Competition is scheduled to take place over two days within a six-day weather window from 1-6 September.
With 2014 podium place-getters Charlie Lyons, Hank Bilous, Fraser McDougall and Anna Smoothy all confirmed starters for this year’s event, competition promises to be fierce.
