Miss S Storey won the former, with Miss Fuller (Christchurch) second, and R. A. Krebs (Napier), the latter, with S. J. Coutts (Auckland) second. The novices all made fine runs and the benefits of instruction classes in The Chateau ski school under the direction of Skadarasy were very evident. , The final race was the roped pairs, in which the competitors, man and woman, are tied together by a length of rope, with the women leading. The competitors cover the course as best they can, the man, with no sticks, controlling the length of rope to avoid entanglement. The race gave great amusement to spectators, as many competitors became badly entangled. The winners were Miss Farrelly and A. Plummer, with Miss J. D. Harrison and J. C. McComish second.
