Mt Ruapehu's Turoa ski field will host the climax of the GoPro Junior Freeride Tour in September as the top skiiers and snowboarders at Under 18 level compete for the national titles.
Round 1 of the three-event tour will be on The Remarkables in Queenstown this month, followed by the Mount Olympus Ski Area in the Southern Alps at the start of September.
The Turoa round is scheduled for September 23-26 - with one actual competition day and three contingency weather days set aside.
The skiiers and snowboarders with the most points in each category after the completion of the three rounds, will be crowned the overall NZJFT champions.
The Freeride tour was created in 2015 to provide New Zealand junior athletes with the opportunity to compete in professionally run competitions.
