Spring is here, and so is the 2019 Monster Energy Jossi Wells Invitational!
It's been a super fun week up here – spring has officially sprung and we've had a blast celebrating both successes at Winter Games NZ, and the always fantastic Winter Pride week.
Looking ahead to next week, we're VERY excited for the Monster Energy Jossi Wells Invitational – the confirmed rider list is probably the most stacked we've seen of any event in a while, with some big international names (Sage Kotsenburg, Mark McMorris, Jamie Anderson, Joss Christensen, Sean Pettit, Aaron Blunck, Jesper Tjader and more) lining up against some of New Zealand's best (the Wells brothers, Finn Bilous, Nico Porteous, Miguel Porteous, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and more).
We're pretty stoked to see what goes down in the pipe, on the rails and on the big air next week – make sure you're up here to check it all out!!

This Saturday the Winter Pride team are hosting the Pride Ski Parade – get your rainbow flag and join the parade from the top of McDougall's! All are welcome.
The first day of events for the Jossi Wells Invitational is looking like Wednesday, with the rail jam aiming for a 9.30am start. We'll be running the events (rail jam, pipe jam, big air jam) on the days that look the best for weather, so we'll keep you updated on the Facebook page for the event, our Cardrona Snow Reports Facebook group, and our daily Snow Report.
