The iconic BASE Triple Comp returns to challenge skiers and boarders to three events in one day and crown the Kings and Queens of the mountain at Treble Cone on Saturday 11 September.

The day kicks off with the POW Banked Slalom in the Saddle Basin with a course designed to test speed and precision of the athletes. Theres 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! The action combined with music, MCs and the spectacular Treble Cone backdrop is guaranteed to wow the spectators.

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 $2000 prize pool of cash and product. Prize giving will be held off the mountain, 7pm at the Mint Bar in Wanaka with the after party to follow.

The event is scheduled to start at 10am with the Big Air from 12.30pm. Entries may be limited; it is recommended entrants register online to avoid disappointment. Space permitting registration will also be taken on the day between 8-9.30am. Sunday 12th September is the reserve weather day.
