About the Export 33 Xtreme
This year's events attracted one of the best fields of competitors from New Zealand and abroad seen in recent years. Several European and US big mountain skiers made the trip to Mt Ruapehu's Whakapapa Ski Area in an effort to win New Zealand's biggest cash prize, US$10,000 for male ski, and prizes from sponsors Salomon, Marmot and Smith. In addition, places on the Freeride World Tour are a major drawcard given the Export 33 Xtreme is a 4 star Freeride World Qualifier.
