The North Island Primary & Intermediate School Ski Champs (NIPS) is a fantastic opportunity for young skiers to experience alpine racing in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.

We’re proud to carry forward a legacy spanning more than 30 years of introducing North Island rangatahi to ski racing. As the most important event of its kind in the North Island, and with Whakapapa as its home, NIPS offers the most accessible and welcoming entry point into the world of alpine competition.
