Great conditions for the upcoming Pure New Zealand Winter Games 2011

The weather is looking good on the Met VUW 5 day forecast and the recent snow-fall Gods have co-operated fully for the Pure New Zealand Winter Games 2011 that start on the coming weekend 13th August 2011, at the Snow Farm.

The Russian Ski Team is here too and has: one Olympic Champion from recent Winter Olympics held at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and one silver and two bronze... and they will all be competing at the Winter Games.

More news on the Winter Games at the Snow Farm will be appearing regularly on a very vaguely mirror site I'm posting to http://www.nordicnz.com/snowfarm/
