people at the top" the Telerate Corporate Ski Challenge is expected to attract more than 35 teams from New Zealand's banks and leading companies. Telerate New Zealand manager Paul Atmore says it is a great opportunity to take those dealing room battles amongst competitors out onto the slopes for a weekend.
