Moar please! I'm curious to see what you got up to as I was trying to crash your party.

I'm loving the K-Truck the poachninja sled is parked in. I was so jealous and stoked to have seen a few sleds being driven around in the K-trucks in Hakuba this year.

Woot Woot!!!!!

It was great meeting up with you. Thanks for showing us around. Glad to hear you'll be back skiing soon.

And Tom, I'd love to hear the harrowing story of how you ended up raxing into a crevasse.

Tom, can you make me a detatchable wing plate that I can install on my powder boards so I float fresh pow, then switch to heart carving the groomers once the pow is tracked out? I can imagine that at...

whoa Tom, did you fall down a crevasse?

So that's a pretty huge eave facing the front of the truck. Are you including a cabover portion to the camper? Otherwise it looks like there would be a large amount of uplift on the roof even at...

Craigieburn

Surprise! Snowstorms are still dumping in the Southern Alps. I know some Kiwis that will be ditching work tomorrow to ski at the last club field to remain open, Broken River.

A little photo update for you all.

Remarkables Ice and Mixed Festival

What's the best way to learn mixed climbing? Forget the top-rope, use every technique known to keep happy on an anxious...

I think a slick option for a touring rig would be a Rohloff 14 speed internal hub mated to a belt drive. It would probably be an expensive option, but it's fun to dream about and this would be...

The only place open in the Mackenzie region was Roundhill, so we went back there today. It looked like 50cm of new snow had fallen, but the wind was intense. Heritage lift wasn't open, maybe due to...

So 111 people have looked at this thread and nobody has an answer. Yes, it is the suck, and I buried the question deep. I should just go out and buy new goggles.

But seriously:

Does anyone...

Well this is a nice thread to find. I've got a problem with my dynafit FT12 toe pieces. In ski mode and standing on flat ground and irrespective of snow or ice, if I press down with just body weight...

Not on ze outside, not on ze inside, but RIGHT EN ZE MIDDLE!

I've got a pair of Dragon I picked up off of sac last year. They started fogging in between the lenses pretty much from the first...

Hey, is anyone going to be at the Remarkables Ice and Mix fest? I'm leaving right now for Queenstown.

I'll be in Wanaka and skiing Treble Cone this weekend. If there are any NZ mags around, let me know and we'll meet up.

This was the weekend I've been looking forward to. The southern club fields on the South Island got hit by last week's storm so we headed to Dobson and Roundhill where they were claiming over 1...

Hey, that's awesome. I'm curious to know if you are starting geology at Western Washington University in a few weeks?

Here's some from Broken River two weekends ago. It was firm and beer-o'clock couldn't come soon enough.

Hah, the Ninthward THA are what I brought here to ski on. PM me if you want to meet up at Broken River or Cragieburn when you're here.

This weekend got the rain we didn't need. I checked out...

Hey guys, I was about to email you all and make some plans. Looks like flights are about $1500 round trip to Christchurch in September. You'll have to decide if you want corn snow adventure on the...

Cool. Looking forward to seeing some volcano skiing

Hey, are you heartcarving in that trip report? Epic!

Hey Bro! by the afternoon my forearms were spent. I tried to get on the lower tow at the parking lot level at least ten times and refused to go to the bottom where it was flat out of stubbornness....

Most of the club fields opened this weekend. It's a tough life if the toughest choice I had to make this weekend was which club field to visit first. I decided to follow some coworkers and friends...

If you've got a holiday visa, I don't see why not. You could call the resorts and club fields in advance and try to get leads that way. If you are in construction, you could get a job in...

Big sky has some of my favourite rides ever. Get the Bozeman big sky west Yellowstone outdoor recreation map by beartoothpublishing.com. it has comprehensive trail descriptions for many rides and...

The annoying part is just making sure the bottles have been sterilized, otherwise I'm alright with it. I'm brewing here in New Zealand partly from being unwilling to spend 25 bucks on a six pack and...

Ho boy, I'm about to bottle my second home brew tonight. So far it's just baby steps as I'm using a canned mix from the homebrew shop, which seems to be the way to make a lot of beer in a short...

I love the Swiss family mountain dog!

Last week had to be a novel experience making a few turns at sea level. I was off work and hiking before dark.
...

It's time for skiing, New Zealand! Snow dumped at sea level in Christchurch on June 6, 2012 and a meter fell at Arthurs Pass. Hopefully it's looking a little better than last year's drought when...

Haha, Alaska Backcountry Adventures, Thompson Pass maybe? 2005? I heard the same thing about that guy. Except after watching this landing, it would make sense to land on a fairly shallow slope. ...

What a great trip. I love the wide angle shots with endless mountain peaks.

Go rafting on the middle fork America near auburn. If you're too cheap then go inner tubing on the class two section of the south fork in Coloma (stay safe, use life jackets). Drive hwy 49. Look for...

Send them to me in new Zealand and I'll sell them. They go here for about five bucks each, retail. And it's ten bucks for a single pack of chews.

Whoa, just saw a fb post from a paramedic in Reno about an avy at alpine meadows . Hope no-ones hurt.

The Fuji x10 looks interesting. Scrap, A friend showed me a review that stated problems with the s100 white balance and low light compared to the s95, their statement was don't fix something that's...

Wow, it's been a short while now and I still miss Ben terribly. I thought it would be amusing to sneak a photo of friends into the chammy bar one day, but apparently I've got a photo on the wall...

I have the g11 and drag it everywhere. The best shots I've taken with it are actually underwater shots using a housing and strobe. The 1 shot per second frame rate could be its biggest drawback. My...

Last year I got 43 laps on kt chair. My buddy Ben got 44 since I was several minutes late. That's just under 75k for me. I logged each lap and we typically ran 2.5 minutes downhill and I forget now...

That's the reason why everyone should have a gopro.

Hmmm..... I skied with one of the guys in that video last year. He's a super cool WY local, a phenominal telemark skier with a ton of backcountry experience, but never took a course in avalanche...

Scree Shredder. That's an appropriate name being based in Big Sky. I had so many core shots from skiing there. That's a burly POV. Are some of those lines towards the northwest from the summit of...

Hmm, by Christmas, I'll be making New Zealand dollars, which is even worse at 60 yen to nzd. Either I will have to expect the expense or just enjoy the New Zealand summer.

So if I were to go over Christmas or New Years could I expect my budget be about $800 or $900 USD for something like 5 days, staying in a hostel and excluding airfair? Is it possible to go for less...
