2:45pm JWI Cardrona
Skiing & SnowboardingBy Jossi Wells
My name is Jossi Wells & I am a professional skier from Wanaka NZL.
The JWI is an event I host with Cardrona Alpine Resort. We build a Big Air jump & invite the best skiers & snowboarders from around the world to have a week long session together, with a competition on the jump at the end of the week. This year we are also including a skate jam at the Wanaka Skatepark.
Spring time. Rock up around 10:30. Rip some slushy park laps until it’s too soft to handle. Dip off the hill to the skatepark for an arvo skate.
The terrain park that runs under White Star Express is my favorite zone. World class park right in our backyard!
Best part of skiing in Wanaka aside from the amazing terrain we have available is the fact we don’t live in the snow. Unlike a lot of the resorts worldwide you can come off the hill & enjoy the other activities Wanaka offers year round.
It’s not very hard, just tell them to go to the lake front. It’ll leave them speechless!
I’d also show them Sticky Forest, walk up Mt Iron & tell them to have a feed at Kika in the evening.
