New Zealand Video Stoke Part 1

I put together this little video for the Black Diamond Journal, from the first half of my recent trip to New Zealand in October.  Nothing too outrageous as far as ski footage goes (unlike this one), but it’s got a catchy beat and reminds me of the beautiful mountains of the South Island.

New Zealand Photo Purge, Part II

Randosteve skins below Drummund Peak. Here are some more pictures from New Zealand.

New Zealand Photo Purge, Part I

Well, after some fun time enjoying the southern hemisphere spring ski season in New Zealand, I arrived back in Jackson Saturday night, slept wicked hard for 10 hours, then jumped right into the northern hemisphere winter with some pretty darn good skiing on Teton Pass for Halloween. Soft powder snow never felt so good and […]

Hopefully a coupe sleep-aids […]

It’s pretty hard to avoid there being high avalanche danger in New Zealand when it snows 13 feet in 10 days. Like with most trips, local or abroad, I’ve started to eyeball the conditions and weather forecasts for New Zealand.  (Launch day is tomorrow!)  MetService.com seems to be the best website for weather and Avalanche.net.nz […]

Two Weeks To New Zealand

Yeah baby! I’m pretty psyched to say that I’m headed to New Zealand to ski for the entire month of October. Before I go any further, I’d like to specifically thank Black Diamond and Arc’teryx Equipment for helping me make this happen. Without their support, I wouldn’t be able to experience a lot of things […]
