Despite the variable freeriding conditions over the last week with super low there temps has meant there has always been stashes of pow to be found around town. However somedays we have had to pay for it with burning legs and exploding lungs after long traverses and a few hikes. In the last couple of days we have had a bit of new snow to play with, but being slightly wind affected and only having had windows of good light, we haven't had many opportunities to really open up. Still it has been loads of fun and I couldn't of asked for a better start to the season having already more or less payed off the price of my season pass with the number of days I have been up riding after the first 3 weeks.

Now it's off-skis to the UK for a week or so to catch up with some mates from NZ and spend Christmas with family. Obviously gutted to miss out on snowboarding for 10 days but on the flipside I will miss the Christmas rush of long lift queues and crowds of lethal punters on the hill. I'm obviously hoping the whole time I'm away it snows so there's a nice full snowpack ready to ride in the new year.
