Winter Games New Zealand

End of an Era - The Winter Games NZ Story

For 15 years, Winter Games NZ has been more than just a competition—it’s been a launchpad for Olympic dreams and a proving ground for the world’s best. From its bold inception in 2009 to becoming a cornerstone of the international winter sports calendar, the Games have hosted history-making events.

Told through the voices of those who lived it—athletes who pushed their limits, organizers who built the event from the ground up, and visionaries who saw the potential in New Zealand’s alpine terrain

OBSIDIAN - Big Air!

Watch the first Obsidian episode here!! The Obsidian Big Air saw four international teams battle it out on the first challenge, at the massive Big Air venue on Cardrona Alpine Resort.

Obsidian is an exciting event which aims to think outside the box of traditional competition encouraging collaboration and creativity, along with a hefty dose of competitiveness!

The event is made up of three Challenges: Big Air, Park Challenge, and Backcountry Freestyle. Each challenge is contested by four teams: Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. With 31 of the best riders in the world, split across four teams, the level of riding was out of this world.
