Last week saw the Export 33 Xtreme Competition return to Whakapapa, and with fine weather for most of the comp there was some great big mountain skiing, including a 50m+ drop by Sam Smoothy!
Sam Smoothy went on to take out the top prize of $10,000 US cash and qualified for the World Freeride Tour. American Chantelle Heroux won the female skiing title.
In the snowboarding competition New Zealander Colin Boyd won the male title, with Wanaka's Abby Lockart taking out the female snowboard title.
