Wanaka freestyle skier Jossi Wells is celebrating his 20-year relationship with the resort with an invitational big air event. As well, those using the big air jump have spent years developing their skills on lower jumps. ```The people that do hit [the jump] really know what they are doing, and it's really carefully designed and built. Mr Richmond (30), from Lake Tahoe, has been designing jumps for many years and said safety was a high priority. Qualifying events for the invitational could be held on Thursday or Friday, Mr Richmond said, depending on the weather.
