N.Z. Champs

The New Zealand championships followed during the next week, but were hampered by mist and falling snow the whole time.

The events were dominated by Womersley and Gardner of the New Zealand Olympic team who took most of the first and second placings during the champs.

Margot Blakely of Auckland had three first placings to become women's champion for the third time.

In spite of the weather, all events were held, even a jump. Phil Jones of Vic came 29th in the giant slalom and the only other Vic skier, John Armstrong finished sixth in the overall combined title.
