Leogang, Austria - 30 January 2013 – It has been a busy few weeks for the New Zealand Ski Racing team with races in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Slovenija. Adam Barwood (Queenstown, pictured on left) is enjoying the packed schedule and has responded with some career best results.

Heavy fog made for tough race conditions in Stari vrh, Slovenija on 23rd January; this didn’t deter Barwood, however, and he managed a personal best result in the slalom race, scoring 32.78 points.

After recently adding Canadian, Kaya Turski, Norwegian, Torgrim Vole, Austrian, Jochen Mesle, and many others to the diverse and growing team at HEAD, PK Hunder has tested out the new products and joined the family.

The ski world has seen few athletes whom within the tender age of 14 start competing at the highest level. PK is one who has competed at numerous X-Games, appeared in many films from Field Productions to MSP, and all the while done it with a smile on his face.  

The HEAD Backdoor Waikato Secondary Schools Ski and Board Championship will see the best young skiers and boarders from the Waikato taking to the slopes of Turoa of Friday 17 July. 

This all-new event will see Year 9 – 13 Waikato school students compete in two events. The first event, the Giant Slalom, is the championship event. The fastest boys and girls in the area will be determined by combining two timed runs of the Giant Slalom course.
