As the official imaging partner of Snow Sports New Zealand, Pacific Radiology Otago and Southland is proud to support identified athletes from the slopes to the start gate.
Pacific Radiology Otago and Southland is excited to announce its new partnership with Snow Sports New Zealand (SSNZ) as the organisation’s official imaging partner. This collaboration brings expert diagnostic radiology support directly to athletes competing across a wide range of disciplines - from alpine ski racing and snowboarding to cross country skiing, freeride, freeskiing, and adaptive snow sports.
Supporting Athletes Where It Matters Most
SSNZ has deep roots in the Otago and Southland regions. From the Remarkables and Coronet Peak to Snow Farm and beyond, these landscapes have shaped generations of world-class New Zealand athletes. Pacific Radiology has been an integral part of these communities for many years, and this partnership is a natural extension of that commitment.
For competitive athletes, the ability to access fast, accurate imaging after an injury isn’t just about convenience - it can determine how quickly they return to training, or whether they make it to the next competition. Our team understands the urgency that comes with elite sport, and we’re equipped to provide the timely specialist radiology that athletes and their clinical teams need.
“We’re pleased to be the imaging partner for Snow Sports New Zealand, supporting identified athletes across disciplines including adaptive snow sports, alpine ski racing, cross country skiing, freeride, freeskiing and snowboarding - many of which have strong roots in the Otago and Southland regions.
Across our southern communities, where snow sport is part of who we are, timely access to expert diagnostic imaging can make a real difference. Through our strong relationships with referring clinicians, teams and athletes, we provide fast, accurate imaging and specialist radiology expertise to support injury management, recovery and safe return to competition.
With a strong South Island presence and a nationwide network, we’re well positioned to support athletes wherever they train or compete, reflecting our commitment to clinical excellence and healthier, more active communities."
