Here’s some more footage of the awesome snow we’ve been skiing and snowboarding out in the backcountry this week. This vid is from our 25 July trip into the Mount Aspiring National Park, Wanaka. Super sweet conditions just now and there’s a serious dump of snow on the forecast for this weekend, we can’t wait. Life doesn’t get better than this!
Super sweet turns
July 30th, 2010Freshies for breakfast!
July 27th, 2010The New Zealand heli ski season is now well under way and winter is really starting to deliver. We’ve had 40cm+ fresh snowfall in our terrain over the last week and conditions are currently great… and there’s more snow on the radar. The powder drought is over! With July coming to an end, we’re excited to see what August – usually our big powder month – will bring. Fingers crossed, the snow gods will deliver the goods!
We’ve had lots of perfect bluebird powder days over the last week, with our guides hunting down the best snow and best lines to ride. Take a peek at our most recent video, filmed on 25 July 2010, in the stunning Mount Aspiring National Park.
