Too much fun. Haven't been getting any footy or pics really. Got a few clips that are going towards the groms edit. But did see this absolute LEGEND at the giant.

Day#9 Season 25- day 7 and 8 were kinda Write offs tbh. But today! Today was a banger! IYKYK beautifully packed groomers, and crazy crusty pow off piste, and freshly tuned board from @max_enuk at Enuk Snowboards- made for some absolute burner turns! I was having too much fun, that didn't really thinking take any pics until
I was on the download chair and spotted this buzzy cloud.
Chr to Matua Te Mana, Maunga Ruapehu for another blessed day.

Day#6 Season 25: "Per Angusta Ad Augusta" Through Hardship to glory-
The day started on a whim and a gamble it was either gonna be worth or not.
It was farkn Miserable, delayed opening, with pissy drizzly cold ass rain, and no visibility- but we held out, and Matua Te Mana, Maunga Ruapehu acknowledged the commitment, and opened the skys briefly for us! Midwinter Spring! The rain done its damage and lower mtn is farkt- but uptop was all good-only about 30 punters. Everyone waited about 30 seconds before dropping- so every run had the entire tail to yourself-
What began as a shit show ended up being the best day of the season so far. The first REAL turns of the year. Probably should've brought the Korua up today. taken in Turoa Ski Field, Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand by @chrbault

Day#5 Season 25- Windy AF.
But much less Stressful. Really got to laying the board over properly today as there was room to turn, and some sections of the groomers had fantastic firm and edgeable conditions.
Conditions still too sketchy to bring out the Korua Shapes TF- for now sticking to the much stiffer and agressive Ride berzerker.

Still not sure how im Gonna actually get any footage or content of myself or riding yet. Will figure that out as th season progresses.
Until then, just happy to be here. taken in Turoa Ski Field, Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand by @chrbault

Day#3/4 Season 25 saw the High noon open.
Cutting winds, nuff people and narrow icy trails kept us on high alert all morning. More an exercise in hazard recognition and avoidance than turning and burning. Legs and feet are feeling it. High consequence, and rather stressful riding tbh, but this is how pre season is around here. Never the less, turns were made! Slowly getting my rhythm back. taken in Turoa Ski Field, Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand by @chrbault

Day#2 Season 25. It's still thin out there, but we're grateful to be here regardless of snow conditions. Any day spent in the embrace of Matua Te Mana, Maunga Ruapehu is a blessing!
This day was an absolute stunner, the vistas nothing short of breathtaking. Mist filled valleys, sky so clear we could see the Tasman Sea,we could even the top of Te Wai Pounamu, and of course Taranaki was looking Tuff as ever! taken in Turoa Ski Field, Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand by @chrbault
