Northface Heli Trip.

On Monday night I got a phone call to see if I wanted to go shoot stills on a Heli trip for Northface. I jumped at the chance, and just over half a day later, we were in the air.

I picked up Eric Themel and Damon Hayler from outside the Speights Ale House, and we were on our way to Queenstown. After transferring between a couple of vehicles at the Queenstown Airport, and then an hours driving out past Glenorchy we got picked up.

The plan was to spend the day on Clarks Glacier. The glacier was absolutely amazing but unfortunately alot of the terrain we wanted to ride was too dangerous. We still managed to get a few shots. Hopefully we'll get a little spot in Aus/NZ Snowboarder, belows some sneak peaks from the day that unfolded.

One of hundreds of flying photos i popped off.

If only... Crew stare at the Glacier. There were so many amazing Ice forms we wanted to ride, but due to the dangers of Crevices, we couldn't touch 99% of them.

I got rigged up to hang out the side of the heli and shoot. We shot one small line, was no easy task trying to co ordinate the pilot with the rider... Damon watches Eric Drop in.

One of the throw aways.. Damon doing a shucker infront of some ice.

More Scenics.

Damon after one of the best lines of the day... Ice ride/surf the wall on the right. Just don't fall over or you may go into a crevice.
