New Zealand skiers are stoked to be training with the world’s best alpine stars as many international teams are training at New Zealand’s Cardrona Alpine Resort.

Olympic medal-winning skiers from top-countries such as Germany, the US, Norway and Russia all flocked to Cardona Alpine Resort to set up camp during the Southern Hemisphere winter. The New Zealand High Performance Centre Women’s Team has undergone world-class training with many of the ski racing medal winners from the Vancouver Winter Olympics! And the international competition has certainly pushed Kiwi skiers to some great results. Lucie Tait-Jamieson, for example, has won the first three FIS events, and Taylor Smith recorded her first ever podium finishes.

Some of the top names training at New Zealand’s Cardrona Alpine Resort are Julia Mancuso and Bode Miller from the US, Viktoria Rebensburg from Germany and Aksel Lund Svindal from Norway.
