Competition has continued with the mountain shred challenge.

Each team has been allocated a different local resort, where they are sessioning a line of their choice involving natural and enhanced features on the mountain. 

Their team videographers are challenged to create a video edit from the day, from which they will be judged 80 per cent by the sports panel on the athlete’s tricks and execution and 20 per cent by the media panel on the team’s creativity and quality of the edit. ⁠

The downsized Winter Games NZ, featuring just domestic athletes and a revamped team format, is a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Competition is set to continue until August 20.
