Powder days at Treble Cone in New Zealand are an amazing thing. Usually it takes about half the day for the Saddle basin to open, and seeing as the saddle is where the magic happens, frothers and powder hounds will line up for at least 30 mins in the hopes of scoring first chair.
When the rope drops, chaos ensues as the Saddle Opening Chinese Downhill gets under way. Anyone who has been there knows how mad it can be, and I for one love the madness!
This is me scoring 2nd chair on a mad dog pow day mid July.

For those who missed the joke, The intro scene and voice over/song is from a classic American ski movie called Hot Dog.
It's funny as, and a must see for anyone interested in snow sports,

In New Zealand, there is a ski field called Treble Cone, which consistently draws a crowd of mad folk from the four corners of the Earth (Flat Earth theory?) who all froth past the brim on Freeriding and getting a bit silly. This Started as my season edit, but ended up with a bunch of shots of all the crew havin'a'time on a few of the best TC rat pack days of the season. The POV footage is all from my head on my Drift helmet cam and the first minute is just me, with Cam Mcdermid ripping...

This is my winning run from The North Face Frontier FWQ 4* freeride comp in New Zealand in August 2016. This year was the first time the comp has run as a four star rated event, so people were throwing down some pretty cool stuff! I actually changed my plan half way through the run as the cliff I was planning to hit scared the shit out of me as I got closer to it, so I went to plan B for the bottom section. It was a great day and I am stoked to see such a highly rated event run in NZ!...

This is my 2015 New Zealand ski season edit, it contains straight skis, pow, drops, flips, snow blades, The NZ Open, monoski, dirt skiing, a pond skim and scroggin. I had a great season skiing in NZ this year. Without a doubt the best NZ season I can remember! I was ski instructing at Cardrona and in between teaching kids how to french fry I was able to make the most of my ride breaks to go and ski parts of the mountain that haven't been on in years! Have a look at my Facebook or Insta...

In the waning moments of New Zealand's winter season, the Armada team headed down to Snowpark to session its near perfect jump line and halfpipe. The team also did a sunrise to sunset shoot, starting on Cardrona's 90+ ft. table top and finishing with the Snowpark bottom jump, with some of the most mind blowing sunset backdrops out. armadaskis.com twitter: @armadaskis Cinematography + Edit: Corey Stanton On the Cover: Mike Hornbeck Photography: Chris O'Connell Skiers: Mike Hornbeck Kim...

In late August Will and Andy, along with the fresh out of broken-knee-cap-rehab LJ Strenio all landed in New Zealand after a 13 hour flight. Armed with a rental campervan the group set a winding course on the south island in an epic quest for skiing, sight-seeing, and one pie to rule them all. http://www.facebook.com/Linetravelingcircus http://www.linetravelingcircus.com
