New Zealand was represented well in this competition where in a field of international competitors, three of the four overall winners were kiwis. All three expressed an equal amount of surprise at coming out on top.

ORTOVOX athlete Sam Smoothy commented on how this competition isn't about winning, for him it's about spending two weeks with some of the world's best skiers and snowboarders. "I had the best time ever," said Smoothy. "I'm a bit blown away by the win as I was being conservative having just come off an injury. I feel privileged to be named this year's champion amongst all the amazing skiers who were out there."

Winners of the 2011 World Heli Challenge are Sam Smoothy, Janina Kuzma, Benny Bright and Abby Lockhart.
