here in the states, tons of mountains are dropping their pipes completely, but in NZ they are upgrading? Crazy, its kind of a dying discipline here.On a quasi-related note, I really want to bum NZ, badly.
Park is a big drawcard for NZ... it's the only thing we seem to manage at a world-class level down here (although racers seem to like our ice in the off-season?) so I guess they're trying to do it properly.
