Please see the following supporting quotes from Simon Dickson, Executive Manager – Commercial, Ruapehu Alpine Lifts:

“The Freeride race today has been cancelled due to weather conditions, but we’re looking at the potential to hold a Freeride race amongst the Longboard IDF Qualifying races tomorrow. Weather conditions are looking fine and clear for the final IDF race on Saturday.

Ruapehu Alpine Lifts is looking to hold a Drift Trike Freeride day on Sunday for anyone who’s keen to test out their skills, participation is only $95. Please contact Ruapehu Alpine Lifts for confirmation on Saturday.
