went up Turoa on tuesday aswell, was so mint.
blue skies, no wind, little bit of fresh snow, decent base to cover the rocks but still keep the terrain interesting and barely any lift line.

will try remember camera when i go down to cardrona next week.

Oooo... yes make sure u get sum pics of Cardrona & post em up. Ill b there in round 3 weeks, so cant wait. Any idea wot the cover there is like?

NzGnu

Mojo

nzboardlife

snowpark looks fine, its open, chains needed.

NzGnu

Cardronas park and pipe arent open yet. not sure when that'll be happening.
this is prob the best place to compare the bases of the mountains

Will be heading to NZ in a couple weeks, flying into Auckland.

Which is the more preferred place to snowboard? I'm trying to decide whether I want to do Whakapapa and Turoa OR Coronet, The Remarkables, and Mt. Hutt. I can only do either the North or the South Islands for this trip.

I'm an intermediate boarder comfortable on blues.. not quite good enuf to be good powder or off-piste yet. Any suggestions would be great.
