The first New Zealander to finish in the men's event was Harrison Steedman in 10th place. New Zealand's top two men, Ben Griffin and Tim Cafe, did not finish the first run in difficult conditions.
Richard Murphy, head of Coronet Peak Race and Events Department, said the race came off without a hitch despite warm temperatures and limited visibility.
"It was a great race run under difficult conditions," said Murphy. "All credit to everyone who finished today."
Lazor expressed his gratitude to the team at Coronet Peak for assisting the ANC series and staging a World class event.
"We'd never be able to have the quality races we have without the support of Coronet Peak," said Lazor. "The whole team did a great job."
