Season is on.

Had my first day riding for the season on Thursday, woke up in the morning and saw this from my back yard... good way to get amped up for riding.

 Caught up with some crew up the hill and went straight to the good (local knowledge) spots for first laps... never before in New Zealand have i dropped in for first turns to 40cm of fresh wind blown pow! Dam thats a good way to get your fix of a shredders favorite drug......adrenaline.
Was too busy getting my shred on so didn't get any snaps of the lines but here is some proof that i worked for that powder.

Started work on Friday, dam this job is sick.

Clubbies Time

Well its been a long wait but the snow is finally here! There's something really exciting about a mountain being closed because they have too much snow... looks like this whole week is going to roll like that, over 1m at temple, 50cm at hutt and the craigieburn range still getting hammered. Its time to do some turns!

Check this rainfall chart out for Wednesday... love looking at these things its almost as good as watching the snow fall itself.

Also check out our new vid from 'The clubbies' 
Snows out there......get some!
