The Mt Hutt Speed Series hosted by Snow Sports New Zealand

Methven, New Zealand (7 September 2016) – It was a busy day of ski racing at Mt Hutt ski field yesterday (Tuesday) with The New Zealand Alpine National Super-G Championships running alongside two Australia New Zealand Cup (ANC) Super-G races. The day started out with claggy weather but a call to delay the race start until 10.30am proved to be a good one with the day clearing to bluebird skies and top to bottom visibility on course.

Willis Feasey (Twizel) and Piera Hudson (Wanaka) put together strong performances, clocking up two wins and one second place finish apiece. Willis was crowned NZ Men’s National Super-G Champion, Overall Men’s National Champion,  the Australia New Zealand Continental Cup Super-G Series Winner and Winner of the Super-G yellow bib, and the Winner of the Australia New Zealand Continental Cup (Overall).

Piera was crowned NZ National Ladies’ Super-G Champion, NZ National Junior Ladies’ Super-G Champion, NZ Overall National Ladies’ Champion, NZ National Junior Ladies’ Champion and the Winner of the Australia New Zealand Continental Cup Super-G Series. 

Australia’s Greta Small was the Winner of the Australia New Zealand Continental Cup (Overall) and Ben Richards (Wanaka) earned the NZ National Junior Men’s Championship title.
