Cat Ski!!

On Friday I got the opportunity to cat skiing in down in Kingston, and take some photos with Cam Mcdermid and Neil Kerr from NZ skier mag.
We turned up in Kingston bright and early, grabbed chicken pie and a flat white, booted up and jumped in the helli.
It was the first time I have flown in a helicopter, so as you can imagine I was absolutely frothing.
Our pilot was awesome too and gave us the full helli experience, low flying, cork screws, banks, etc.
He dropped us at the top of the cat ski bowl and from then on it was all up to the sleds and snow cat.
The snow was great, slightly sun baked but still epic.
We spent most of the day finding and shooting lines, and a few good pow runs too, hopefully we got some good shots!
Queens town cat skiing is an awesome set up. I really like the way they run things.

Next thing on the agenda is the K2 Chill Series Big Mt.
Gonna be SICK!

TC POW

We have had a couple of good snow falls since the start of the season, but as I have been pretty busy with work over the last few weeks, being school holidays, I haven't had much time to actually ski TC.
I managed to get up last Monday on my day off for a shred. It ended up being one of the best POW days ever. I will admit there was a lot of hiking and hunting involved, but it was well worth it. We skied some of the lightest and deepest snow I think I have skied in NZ. I was submersed a couple of times. It was a genuinely awesome day caning it with friends.
Here is the link to my helmet cam edit from the day.
