Winter Games NZ is the first major event to include adaptive skiing in the mainstream event that will allow adaptive skiers to race on the same course, on the same day as able-bodied skiers in the Super G, GS and slalom disciplines at Coronet Peak and Mt Hutt.

Super G -Able body & Adaptive
Sat, 27th August - Mt Hutt

The Super G has moved from Coronet Peak to New Zealand's 'speed moutain' - Mt Hutt. Conducted over one run and incorporates aspects of both Downhill and Giant Slalom with the minimum number of gates 35 for men and 30 for women. The high downhill speeds combined with the technical skill of Giant Slalom produce a daring, high speed event that is thrilling to watch. Mt Hutt is exceptional for spectators as you are able to see the full course from a number of locations. The course on Mt Hutt is down Broadway with a total vertical dropp of 425m. For 2011 Super G races, the Able body and Adaptive atheltes will race side by side, on the same course and with the same officials. Awards ceremonies to be held in Methven town centre at 5.30pm.
