NZ Ski Centre Supports All blacks With Special Skis
Published : 30-Sep-2015 09:05
A New Zealand ski area has come up with the idea of renting special All Blacks themed skis to show support for the All Blacks during the current Rugby World Cup.
Queenstown's Coronet Peak has created the special all black skis, complete with the distinctive Silver Fern at their tip, and will be renting them out for skiers who want to show their support and perhaps take a few selfies this weekend – the last of their 2015 season.
Saturday morning will also see the New Zealand team playing Georgia in the World Cup and Coronet Peak will show the match live on the big screen as the ski day gets going from 8am and offer a special 'All Blacks Breakfast'.
"It's been a cracker of a season and we've smashed our previous snowfall record so we're going out on a high," said ski area manager Ross Copland, "It's a long countdown to next year."
Sunday's closing day celebrations will include a dress-up Beach Party and Pond Skim. The all black skis will be available at the bottom of the Coronet Express chairlift on Saturday morning.
