Geoff Hunt, of Queenstown, splashes through the water jump on the way to taking first place and $2OOO worth of prizes in the Grand Slam event during the recent Moro spring carnival at The Remarkables ski area, Queenstown. Hunt, a former New Zealand freestyle ski-ing champion, triumphed in a grand slam of six challenging events: a boogie in the bumps, extreme ski-ing, mountain biking, telemark and cross-country ski racing, and the water jump. About 40 competitors were attracted to the water jump with Hunt’s backward somersault a highlight.
