The Winter Games NZ returned to New Zealand’s home of freeride, The Remarkables ski area in Queenstown, today for The North Face Frontier four-star competition. There were plenty of thrills and spills as skiers and snowboarders pushed themselves in tricky snow conditions in the exposed terrain of the Alta Chutes. Up against strong international competitors, Kiwi athletes put together some impressive performances to come away with seven of the twelve podium spots.

Fresh snow just covering some rocky conditions beneath made for some gnarly course conditions with the judges warning competitors to err on the side of caution today. Competitors had their work cut out finding a fast and fluid line through the exposed terrain while also going for top scores by incorporating tricks in their runs and making solid landings. @wintergamesnz #wintergames ...

Snow is coming!! ❄️🌨️❄️🌨️❄️
Big Freeze On The Way
A large cold airmass, trapped below a high pressure system situated over Tasmania, is anticipated to gradually move up and traverse the country, resulting in a significant drop in overnight temperatures during the upcoming days.
This expansive airmass is not forecasted to bring any precipitation or snowfall to New Zealand, with surface-level winds expected to remain gentle to calm. Inland regions of both islands are projected to bear the brunt of this dramatic temperature descent. Friday to Sunday is identified as the timeframe when the most severe frosts are expected. Temperatures in Mackenzie Country, Central Otago, and the Southern Lakes District could plummet as low as -5 to -8 degrees Celsius. Daytime temperatures in these regions are unlikely to rise beyond the double-digit mark. Light frosts may also develop as far north as Auckland.

Alpine areas in both Islands could see temperatures plummeting below -10 degrees Celsius, resulting in perilous driving conditions along the major state highway passes and bucket loads of snow! stay tuned @visitruapehu @whakapapa.mtruapehu @whakapapa @pure_turoa_official @tukinoskifield @plateaulodge_tongariro @skotelalpineresort @tongariro_lodge ...
