The first of the Park and Pipe events at the 2022 Winter Games NZ went down last Thursday 1 September with the halfpipe qualifiers held in the Olympic Superpipe at Cardrona. The finals, due to be held yesterday, were postponed due to high winds making conditions unsafe on the course. The results from qualifiers became the overall results. Read the full story here.

The weather thwarted us again at the slopestyle finals, due to be held after the halfpipe finals yesterday. The cloud came in and the visibility was too limited for the athletes to throw down on the Big Bucks course. Despite the finals cancellation we were able to award the podiums based off the qualification results. Read the full story here.

Women | 1st Mari Fukada (JPN), 2nd Lucia Georgalli (NZL), 3rd Ava Beer (NZL)
