Our drive down from the beloved concrete jungle of AK was along one with all the issues with Sam Dows G ride “Roger” had blowing a head gasket.
Even our fluro pink duct tape roof repair kept ticker leak free! yeah boy!
But we got down all were safe, cheers to Pam & John for the use of there awesome mountain pad! Even if it was a little cold for Kens fragile flanges.
Koan came over from his bro's lodge in Ohakune for some snow slide time with the old crew,
Opening day was pretty casual, not much snow cover but we decided to hit Whakapapa as Turoa would have been packed out with all the Mardi Grass crowd and we i know what that means, but no lines at Whakas, ride on to lifts, blue skys, and no wind, dont get much better than that! even if it is only the dutty Rocky.
A few new crew already this season with the addition of Guy (did last post), Ray Ray on the left and Ken with his Bird Man Gang hand symbols on the right!
Oh few things Ray Ray has a mean mo! and ken seams to get embarrassed around super sexy punters...
Caught up with some old crew like "Master Park Shaper" Duffy, and Kentos, old mate Newy's back in town and Dirty B Rad.
Any ways the aim of the game was riding so hers a few clicks of Koan and Ken getting rad!
A good day was had keeping it lazy easing into the season enjoying the feeling of cramped boots and wide stances! Koan got some dope corked 5's and rodes, hes been cranking Snowplanet so he never forgot how to ride, the rest of us spent our time jibbing about keeping it buttery. Ken who told us he had only been snowboarding a handful of times, started throwing down with some gnarlly speed and front 3's out of no where!All and all a super fun day with some new and old crew.
And good old ticker cranked all weekend proving it is a true mountain goat!
Sunday was shit, raining and uber windy, but it has been snowing so lets hope it keeps coming!
Sorry for the lack of riding clicks but hey its early days!Peace
