Volkswagen blackonwhite Snowball

18th of May 2007

The Snowvision Foundation threw its inaugural blackonwhite Snowball on the 18th of May 2007 in the impressive new copper dome on top of the Auckland Museum. The blackonwhite themed event was supported by nearly 400 guests who drank 42Below cocktails, Corona beer and Morton Estate Black and White Label wines.

The guests were entertained by Mike King, a live performance by the 'Kazakhstan Ski Team' and an interview by Susan Wood with 2006 Olympic Downhill gold medalist Antoine Deneriaz from France and World Cup Slalom champion Claudia Riegler.

Through the SnowCentre Lucky Dip and the Boulgaris Auctions a significant amount of money was raised for The Snowvision Foundation capital fund.

Two Snowvision performance awards were handed on the night to New Zealand National Ski Team racers Ben Griffin and Mark Bridgewater after their World Championship Performances.

The Snowvision Foundation is an independent charitable trust building a capital fund to help resource and unlock New Zealand's potential on snow and get Kiwis back on top of the world in snow sports.
