Robett threw down some words on what we did on the weekend... nzsnowboard.com
On Saturday myself, Nick Hyne, Tim Pierce and Mad Dawg - the main man behind Snow Park's Terrain Park Posse all made the mission to Snow Park for Day 1 of filming for 'NZsnowboard.com Newsweek'. We even got to go RIDE a foot of fresh powder and get some snowmobile tows!!! Seriously...... Check the pics!!
With a big load of fresh falling at the end of last week we had to get up the hill. And with Nick Hyne rolling into town for a day of filming for 'NZsnowboard.com Newsweek' we knew we may even be able to get a few sneaky turns in 3 weeks before the hill had even opened..... It was on!!!
We left Wanaka at about midday with a quick stop at the Doughbin for the mandatory coffee and it felt like old times walking into the place with snowboard pants on just like you would on a normal day in the season. The drive up was sweet with snow nearly reaching the bottom of the valley and a cold wet drizzle meaning it was probably snowing up the hill.

Fresh snow in the Snow Park CarparkTo stop any public accessing Snow Park the boys had locked the gate near the top, but lucky for us we were rolling with the infamous Mad Dawg so all was well. We broke through the foot of ungroomed fresh in the mighty Hilux and boosted through to the top car park.
Top To Bottom Coverage at Snow Park NZ
Winter is definately hereSnow Park looked majestic...... covered from top to bottom with a foot of fresh even on the picnic tables outside the Woolshed.. So we got out Tim's new camera that was worth an arm and a leg and got down to business. I held the cue cards for a bit and Nick Hyne worked his magic in front of the lens. We cranked out the 1st Ep so then it was time for a shred......
'NZsnowboard.com Newsweek' Presenter Nick Hyne all smiles!!Having not ridden in a while me and Nick were both amping and after a quick skidoo tow up to the top we were strapped in and enjoyed an epic 1st run down Snow Parks box run slashing and boosting off any roller we could find. Tim got a few slow-mo shots of a some jumps and pow turns and we finished off hitting this sewage tank jib thing.. Nick killed it .....
Holler ready for his first turns
