NZ just dropped the pre-arrival covid testing and NZ travel permit requirements from tomorrow, how good. Just over a month away now until a week at Wanaka - not counting or anything

Finally getting back to it after the 2 year Hiatus due to lockdowns. Epic pass arrived the other week, new board purchased after 9 seasons on the previous one and I am pumped!

Forget the butters and the girly giggles, I am looking at the background sky and the terrain. Amazing. Any idea where this was shot?

Heliboarding in the Southern Alps in the South Island. Unsure where exactly!

Added to bucket list. Last time in South Island almost 10 years ago the weather didn't cooperate but one of these days...

Yeah it’s on my bucket list too and I live here… 😆

If you ever head down this way shout out on the forum.

If the valley wasn't filled with clouds I could probably tell you based on the lake/river hah. No sign of Aoraki/Mt Cook or Tasman in the background shots so likely further south in the Queenstown area, maybe Glenorchy? Heli views of the Southern Alps are certainly unforgettable!

The Pinnacles are starting to look better!

I managed 12 laps today whilst my kids were in a 3 hour lesson, feels so good to be back on snow!

How are those volcom gore bibs going for you?

I love the volcom stuff, I had the pants previously but switched to the bibs last year so I could size up considerably without them falling down. The freedom of movement I have now is excellent.

I just grabbed a pair of the same from Rhythm’s long weekend sale. I rode pretty much all Volcom outerwear from 05-2010 before switching to Airblaster. It’s pretty cool that my old Volcom Jacket still fits the ziptech.
Most hard wearing technical outerwear there is IMHO.

Welcome to the School holidays.

 

[Foxpuppet]

That’s why my first trip this season will be after the holidays, mid week!

 

[OldSnow]

There's even a bunch of people missing from the NSW mountains right now due to the weather being not ideal, and the mass flight issues yesterday getting around. I imagine as the weather improves during the week it'll get worse

Same here....., counting down the days. I'm going 2 weeks in August and 1st week Sep. Got 4 new boards to try out and new [ak] Swash jacket to Christen.
