buller might be worth it the second week of the holidays then, hey JV are u going to be posting while ur up their... can u take lots of photos and do some reports for me to see wether its worth coming up

yeh im leaving tomorrow for 16 days! pumped as, hopefully bourke street opens, for a start...

the place were staying has net so i'll give you all some update, i'll be filming aswell up there, so if you are gonna go up give me a holla and lay down your snow hammers! hopefully make a reasonable length fun/fuckaround video with a heap of shitminge riding by the end of the season!

any of you blokes seen the snowboardsers skim over lakes and shit.
its so fucking awesome

did anyone hear about the eruption on Mt. Ruapehu last year around late september - early october? pretty massive and almost killed a guy that was crushed by a landslide, anyway about three days after the eruption i went there with some friends and you could still see the ash on the top, pretty steep hill, but im a novice skiier at best. wayyyyyyyyyy harder for me than the aussie stuff.

fuck yea jv! I'll be up there for the cattleman's rail jam weekend for sure! i want a trick in your video!

JV, I will be there on sunday night. I tried to change to tuesday but they will charge me $200 because "there's a lot of admin work that is involved"

I spoke to management about lifts and snow gun and they are opeing bourke street as a minimum and hope to start the guns tonight or last night

gotta go pack for the trip. i should have internet up there, so hit me up with an email if u wana catch up jv_spike@hotmail.com


2 bottles of soco for $50.... fuck yes! fun times even with no snow!

is there any snow at buller at the moment?

can i get a drunken cameo in the video JV

haha scored! I have now changed to tuesday night without any extra fees charged. Last night Buller started snow making and today they had 4cms. Should be some snow tonight and Sunday night and then monday night through till wednesday morning then sunny day on wednesday.
Stoked. There won;t be a lot of snow but should be enough to allow me to have a little bit of fun at least.
Second week of holidays looks to be outstanding. I wish I could be there for the second week.

got back from thredbo today, biggest waste of a week ever - theyre closing it down in a few days if it doesnt get any better.

yeah my m8 this sheila from down the coast where i live was working on resort n got sent home fore a few weeks until it snows

at least she made it their man, i havent even been summoned up their yet :-( wouldnt it be fantastic if we got awesome snow (metres and metres of it) annually ike canada, japan, america, europe etc and didnt have to live in this crazy, stressful enviroment, forever biting our fingernails in anticipation of a few measly cm's. im fed up with the snow playing hide and seek with us.


spose its all part of the fun and experience!

yeah man.


my m8 moved back to nz cos his family is from there n aprently it is shitting out snow all ova tha place there.



i shud go n scum a room off his family for a while if i can aqfford airfare and a pass for a few weeks lol

me and my mate were going to apply for jobs in nz this yr but we decided to apply for the job at falls instead, i feel we may have gotten the rough end ofthe stick on that one (especially my mate who didnt get the falls job either)

im still hopeful and optimistic, if frogs predications come true then wel have a fairly good season, and that dude knows his shit so ....hmmm...either way whether im working their or just going up for 8 days with fam and friends like i normally do its gonna be sick despite the amount of snow their!


*continue snow rant now*

very well.



hmmm well i lived in indy last season working at woolies n boarding on my days off.



wrecked my foot on the last day of season. its all healed up now.


there was liek 3 inches snow in november in jindy which was rad n a massive dump at guthega in december.


it was looking sweet now its not soo sweet.



i wanna make a lil non snow setup sumwhere round here.


maybe get sum old carpet or turf from the dump.

n make a lil setup to keep me sane if i cant afford to go.

im up at buller now, snow looks like shit. were gonna head up the hoolden and have a good look, apparently there was snowmaking on the summit, and they have a few jibs set up. we'll have a look...

i'll post pics when i get some...

trotty, pretty much the whole video is going to be a drunken cameo.!

looks like rail park will be on the summit this year guys

some hits

fucking long rail

shit snow conditions- looking down fanny's

props on posting up the photos man!

did you hit up any of the jibs?

no didnt bother,
ice snow + marginal cover + 1m gap between launch to rail + first day of a 2-week trip = no deal

basically just bummed round all day

front valley perisher blue today round 430


good old snowcams
