Race History
During the 1950 winter season, Swiss ski instructor and Ruapehu Alpine Lifts (RAL) entrepreneur Walter Haensli, established a ski race to encourage open competition between instructors and amateurs at Ruapehu. He wanted young racers to try and match themselves against skiers of a higher standard. As a result of lobbying by Haensli, the NZ Ski Council adopted the idea and whenever provincial and national championships were held there was an ‘open’ category which anyone, instructors included, could enter.
