There are three events, one to be decided on Wednesday, the men’s langlauf or cross-country race, which will be run over a five to seven-mile course; the womeii’s langlauf, and the Ruapehu Ski Club’s men’s langlauf. The first two events are open, and carry a New Zealand championship. The men’s langlauf also carries points toward the title of New Zealand champion skier, which is decided on an aggregate of points for this event, and the downhill and slalom championships.
