After a hugely successful return to Cardrona in 2009, the Burton NZ Open is set to raise the bar once again while leaving its mark on the global snowboard scene.

"We are stoked to again host the Open at such a great resort," says event manager Reuben Yeoman.

The combined effort is providing riders with the facilities and formats they require to perform at their best, and it's great to be a part of such a progressive event and global series."

The first stop of the Burton Global Open Series and also a 5 Star event on the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour, the Burton NZ Open will again take Wanaka and the Cardrona Valley by storm. Full event details, including a comprehensive contest and entertainment schedule will be published soon.
