New Zealand will host next year's snowboard and freestyle junior world champs.
The International Ski Federation event, which runs for two weeks, will be the first time an FIS world championship will be held here.
Event locations have yet to be confirmed but the CEO of Snow Sports New Zealand Ross Palmer expects there'll be plenty of interest from ski and snowboard resorts in both Wanaka and Queenstown, where the FIS have indicated they'd like the event staged.
