Interski Ski Squad Named
NZSIA took a major step towards Interski with the naming of its ski squad in September 2013.
Interski is a four yearly conference attend by all the leading winter sports nations. It provides an essential platform for the NZSIA to share knowledge and promote its qualifications globally. Interski 2015 will be held in Ushuaia, Argentina.
28 of New Zealand’s top ski instructors trialled for the 8 person squad. Candidates were tested for 3 days in all conditions including on and off piste skiing, synchronised skiing, dynamic athletic ski ability, a written submission and a 10 minute indoor presentation. Treble Cone provided the perfect environment to test the skiing and the participants put on a great spectacle. The standard was incredibly high on and off snow and the team selected performed exceptionally in all areas. The ski team members selected were:
Jon Ahlsén
Toby Arnott
Tim Cafe
Ben Darlow
William Boyd (replacing Celine Arnold)
Scott Dagg
Ashley Murphy
Garret Shore
The ski team includes six NZSIA examiners along with two level three certified instructors.
