Sunday September 4: Otago University has successfully defended its hold on the Uni Snow Games Michael Forrestal Memorial Shield, winning it for the eighth consecutive year.
This year’s Uni Snow Games saw more than 90 competitors take part in events including Big Air, Half Pipe, Gravity Cross, Giant Slalom and Cross Country, at Treble Cone, Cardrona and Snow Farm.
Friday September 2: Natalie Good has certainly lived up to her surname in this week’s Uni Snow Games.
The talented snowboarder has taken two freestyle titles this week, winning the Slopestyle on Thursday and today’s (Friday September 2) Skull Candy-sponsored Big Air at Treble Cone, comfortably.
With experience like hers it is little wonder the Waikato University law student has dominated the two events she has entered at this year’s Uni Snow Games.
