New Zealand’s top alpine ski racers went head-to-head in their battle for the national giant slalom (GS) honours at the National Ski Championships today at Coronet Peak, skiing a challenging course.

Ben Griffin and Sarah Jarvis were crowned the Men's and Women's 2010 Champions respectively.

Griffin, of Ohakune, had another great giant slalom race and ended tied for fourth overall against the strong international field. The strong field means that this race will likely once again be a low penatly points race.
