I was planning on entering the Coronet Peak big air on Sunday, but someone told me that its a hip jump and is probably going to be rock hard. Does anyone know anything about it, and is anyone here going to be entering?

Went up again today and its pretty good, though no where near fully open. I read in the paper there's only 20% at the mo. They've got some nice boxes/rails, a jump at the top, hip and a step-up. The step-up is really nice, but u have to straight line the whole park to hit it, so have to miss...

Snowpark is opening tomorow! Very excited, apparently they've built some decent kickers as well, so it's not just going to be rails to start with, which is pretty cool. Will be heading up early in the morning, hitching from the corner of Brownston St if anyone sees 2 girls hitching- pick us up...

I'm at Snowpark for the whole season so I'll no doubt be there most of those days. Will probably be riding on Fujatives (if they've arrived by then) and red and grey jacket (crap, waiting for new one!) Will see you guys there in a couple of weeks. If we've got enough snow by then. It did snow...

Sounds like it could be good fun up at Snowpark that week. I don't know who or what anyone looks like from this site though. Would be cool to be able to look out for people up on the mountain (and in Wanaka)....

When I 1st got here I stayed in Purple Cow hostel, which is really nice, costs $22 a night. If you get a room in a self-contained unit u get a mini kitchen, lounge, sofa tv etc so it's pretty good. I think there may be other cheaper places. Some friends have jus moved into Bullock Creek hostel...

Just desperately trying to find a job firstly and then a house to share with people for the season. If you hear of any jobs going I need one badly! Same for rooms or houses. Part of the reason getting here early was to try and get work before most people arrive. Can't wait to start skiing...

I'm about to get some K2 MissDemeanors, which are like the Public Enemys but for girls. I'll let you know how they are. I've been on Trouble Makers for the last couple of seasons and love them if thats anything to go by...

I've finally made it to NZ from England- the flight was pretty massive! I'm heading to Wanaka tomorow, so will probably see some of you guys there and in Snowpark soon. Bring on 30th June. Can't wait...

I've had my Trouble makers for 1 & 1/2 season now, and they're still going. Admittedly I don't do a huge number of rails, but they've still been pounded and crashed loads and still ski perfectly. Only problem I did have was the Look signature bindings with them though, I've broken them 3 times...

I'm trying to contact Giro about possible sponsorship, does anyone know if they're owned by another company or have any info on them, as I can't find anything that contacts them direct on the internet.

In England I'm near to MK snozone, but it's rubbish. Whenever I've been there, there's never been anything worth riding. I duno how much Sheffield costs, but MK is about £20 an hour as well, which is pretty annoying when all u can do is ski straight from the top to the bottom...

Yep, me too. Will be getting to Wanaka on 6th June- pretty soon, quite excited. Just then got to find a job and a house to share...

How do u join a cult if your not invited tho?

Which pros are headed for NZ do u know? I read that Pep was probably going down the Snowpark again as he loved it so much last time, but that's all I've read...

Yeah NZ! Can't wait to get there + start skiing. Got my season pass for Snowpark- hope some of the big pros come down, it'd be amazing to have them skiing there. See you guys in Wanaka!

Nope, was trying to go last year, but couldn't get the money together in time, I think I'll get more out of it this year anyway. Just trying to find insurance- its more money I'd not realised I had to spend. I got to get a job as soon as I get out there, otherwise I'll be making the massive...

Yeh I'm also from UK. It's pretty much the furthest flight we could have chosen from England- not looking 4ward to it at all! I hope there's a few Brits there. Would be cool to see a few make the trans-globe trip.

I've been in Val D'Isere in France for the last 2 winters and there's a lot to be said for going to Europe. Val D'Isere is a pretty legendary resort anyway, but is particularly re-nowned for the massive amount of reasonably accessible off-piste. I've not been to the US or Canada skiing, but...
