Lake Wanaka, New Zealand – The BASE Triple Comp returns this Saturday to challenge skiers and snowboarders to three events in one day and crown the Kings and Queens of the mountain at Treble Cone.nThe day kicks off with the POW Banked Slalom in the Saddle Basin with a course designed to test speed and precision of the athletes. There’s likely to be some spills and thrills as the competitors jostle for the top placings. This is followed by the Bern Expression Session testing the skiers and boarders and their creativity over a section of natural terrain.

The afternoon event shifts the focus to the Saddle Air for the Rossignol Big Air competition with athletes expected to go all out with their best mid-air moves, with music spinning from guest MCs.

All skiers and boarders, male and female, will compete on the same courses and on the same Big Air jump. The best run or score for each event will count.

There is a NZ$2,000 prize pool of cash and product. Awards will be presented off the mountain, at 7 p.m. at the Mint Bar in Wanaka with the after party to follow.

The event is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. with the Big Air at 12:30 p.m. Entries may be limited; it is recommended entrants register online to avoid disappointment. Space permitting registration will also be taken on the Saturday between 8-9:30 a.m. Sunday is the reserve weather day.
