The winter has only just started, but for New Zealand’s Men’s Ski Team things are already looking sweet. Thanks to a high-energy sponsorship deal with New Zealand icon Cookie Time they will get an extra boost this season.

Cookie Time’s One Square Meal bars will power our top ski racing athletes Ben Griffin, Tim Cafe, Andrew Wylie, Finlay Neeson, Harrison Steedman and Nick and Jamie Prebble. The guys are training and racing in slalom, giant slalom and super-G events at Coronet Peak and Mt Hutt in the 2010 season. Afterwards they’ll be off to Europe for five months to compete in the 2011 World Alpine Ski Championships in Garmisch, Germany, and they’re also aiming to take part in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia.

Next time you’re heading to the slopes make sure you stock up on One Square Meal bars just like the pros. Its natural ingredients such as Manuka honey, rolled oats, dried apricots and berries will keep you pumped for the mountain action.
