Introduction
This brief advisory document has been created as a reference manual for teams considering coming to New Zealand, especially for those who have never
been here to train and compete previously. Follow the example of multiple Olympic and World champion Justyna Kowalczyk who has trained at Snow From
NZ for many years, giving her the best off-season training available on great terrain.

  Give your team the best opportunity going into the 2018 Winter season by coming to train at Snow Farm NZ
                            and competing in the Audi quattro Winter Games NZ.

Further training and travel information will be sent out with the official invitation in 2018. If you would like more information at any stage, please get in
touch with Winter Games NZ Cross Country Manager Colleen Nisbet on colleen@wintergamesnz.kiwi

Why come to New Zealand to train?
Some of the world’s best international teams and athletes use Snow Farm NZ as their summer
training venue, including Justyna Kowalczyk, Jessie Diggins and the US team. Here are just a few
reasons why they choose NZ:

     •    Our winter snow is cold and dry.
     •    Snow Farm NZ has great terrain, with well prepared courses that are groomed every night.
     •    It provides an excellent opportunity to work on technique
     •    The Snow Farm Lodge accommodation, waxing space and gym are all on the mountain
     •    Good low/medium altitude training
     •    Training races - FIS ANC races and the Merino Muster (World Loppet)
