it sucks! I have already paid for my Anthems. What do i do now? What ski should i get instead? I dunno whether i should try and get another Line ski (but not the invader, too soft for me) or just screw them and get something else! any thoughts?

yeah we need more snow at Ruapehu but Hutt still really needs 60-70cm to become ridable. I spent a few seasons there and the 30cm base at the beginning was pretty much unskiable. 1 metre for May is freakin' awesome! Coming off the back of an epic season in Canada here's hoping for the double, 2...

i'll be back again, working up Whakapapa for a 2nd season. Here's to an awesome season, we already had nearly a meter of snow dump, could be in for an epic season!! See you all in the park or hiking up somewhere crazy, backside of the pinnies is sweet! laters

yup and they got a crazy new box being set up the moment. Its just a long down box but its got a huge kicker onto it, and an 18ft gap!! You fit a snow cat into the gap!! It ain't open yet but i'd love to see some skiers hit it when its open!! laters

i got my CSIA 2 and am taking my 3 this season at Lake Louise. Instructing rocks! Once you get a few seasons under your belt you don't always have to teach little kids. You can get advanced lessons, freestyle lessons, all sorts really. You still have to teach beginners occasionally but i love...

I'll be back working at Whakapapa and living in Natty Park. peace out

hey bro! you'll have a blast, come down to Lake Louise and ride the park there, its awesome, i'll be there for the season. Much better than the shitty ass park we have at Whakapapa. laters bro, might see you at whakapapa before i go, wannna hit park and powder whe it all clears up!

it is clubbed to death by Rob D. But why didn;t you just watch the credits. All the songs are listed there! Dumbass!

it is gutting, especially after last years crazy rain and wind put an early end to the night!

i'll definitely be at the ohakune premiere!! I only live down the road so it'll be sweet! Just watched th trailer too, looks like its gonna be sweet as! Awesome music too! laters

its just snowed so it should be awesome!

ha ha! at least you didn't have to do test runs for it! All the ski school guys and girls had to load on for testing, and that thing is a death trap!! They even had some guys from ski school helping with welding and other stuff!! and those old brown benches inside! so 1989!! laters

hey guys! my name is dan, its my 3rd season in NZ. last 2 at hutt, this one's at Whakapapa. i live in Ohakune and i work up the hill as a ski instructor. and i spend the kiwi summer rippin' up lake louise in canada! laters dan

I am on my second season in my Tecnica Diablo Fire (with HotForm Liners). i love them. they aren't too heavy, and are great as an all mountain boot. They have an awesome power strap that really clamps the upper boot to your shin, so you can eliminate shin bang. They are wider in the toe box...

yup DNA is sweet, and all their gear is waterproof to at least 20,000MM which is sweet! Siver is sweet looking and well made but not as technical. You'll love either! laters
