We look forward to bringing you 10 days of action-packed elite competition, including 4 World Cups, a Curling tournament featuring the new Olympic sport of Mixed Doubles and a head to head Alpine Dual Slalom race under lights at Coronet Peak. Since the inaugural Games of 2009, our vision of delivering one of the world’s best winter sports events has truly become a reality. I’m very proud to say that Winter Games NZ is now ranked amongst the top five events on the international winter sports circuit, and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere. I would also like to congratulate the 19 incredible 2013 Winter Games NZ competitors who went on to win medals at the Sochi Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in February 2014, especially our own Corey Peters taking silver in the IPCAS Giant Slalom. We continue to work closely with Snow Sports New Zealand to provide a platform for homegrown talent to compete at the highest level and showcase their ability to the world. It was with great pride that I watched the largest Winter Olympic team New Zealand has ever produced chasing medals in Sochi. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters and especially our army of fantastic volunteers without whom the Games simply could not happen.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.

  • Registration Form
    REGISTRATION FORM 20-27 FEBRUARY 2010 Welcome to Wanaka Wanaka with its beautiful lake surrounded by glorious snow-capped mountains has to be one of the most stunning places to visit in the world. It is held that Wanaka was named after a Maori Chief of the name Oanaka. Early European farming settlers came into the district in the 1850s but it wasn’t until Theodore Russell built his Wanaka Hotel in 1867 that the settlement of Pembroke (now present day Wanaka) began. Right up into the 1870s Albert Town was the centre of the Wanaka district, but in 1873 it reluctantly ceded defeat as the district centre when authorities built a Post Office at Pembroke. It wasn’t until 1st September 1940 that Pembroke officially became Wanaka by the will of the people. This jewel of the south now welcomes Cavalcaders, most of whom will travel routes the old settlers and miners used nearly 160 years ago. The going will be a lot easier but the grandeur of the country remains much the same. I know you will spare a thought for those tough Old Timers who forged the way for our benefit. “No town in New Zealand can boast such beautiful surroundings or a healthier or more salubrious climate.” (From Dunedin newspapers of the 1880s) Poem the dawn came in splendour the snow peaks were flaming the mist was below like a great rolling sea. till it lifted and showed us the land we were seeking the broad smiling waste where our station would be!
