Paul Marks, Head of Race & Events at Mt Hutt with Joe Dole who came 1st in the Under-16 ski category
The first K2 Parklife Mini Shred took place at Mt Hutt in July and was enjoyed by many young skiers and snowboarders who will once again battle it out in the Dirty Dog Stomping Ground on September 20.
Dave Wilson, Ski Area Manager, said spring is a great time to hold the K2 Parklife Mini Shred.
Mt Hutt is a fantastic place to visit in spring. Were hoping for a sunny day with great snow so the kids can show how far theyve progressed since the July event.
The Dirty Dog Stomping Ground is perfect for this kind of event because it is a relaxed environment, the features are designed for easy navigation on skis or snowboard and competitors and spectators alike can enjoy themselves.
Mr Wilson said the kids had been developing their skills in the parks through the season and were looking forward to the event.
There is always a great atmosphere at the K2 Parklife Mini Shred the competitors all know each other and are supportive, spectators have plenty of action to watch, and there are some great prizes up for grabs from K2, Sessions, Smith Optics, Nikita Clothing and Parklife.
There are three categories in the competition - Under 16, Under 14 and Under 12 - for both male and female skiers and snowboarders. Entry is free to all competitors with a $20 refundable bib deposit and helmets are compulsory. Entrants without a season pass can also purchase a day pass at 50% off when they register.
