Cantebury Mission

What an amount of snow. The Canterbury high country is so loaded this year that first ever lines are are having tracks left down them.

I packed up my car, Magoo jumped in the back seat and we headed to Methven. The weather was no go on Saturday which made for preparation for the Annual Casa Del Caird party and Jemu's house.

Yes, it lived up to its reputation and was a fantastic night.

Sunday the weather was great but we were a little late rising so missed out as the road closed due to full car parks and no doubt way to many people.

Then Monday came along. Another beautiful day. As we drove up I was amazed and the amount of snow up at Mt Hutt. I had done many a season at Hutt over the years but have never seen it like it is this season. Prob the best since the infamous 1992 season.

We had a great crew shredding, Q Diddy, Werhle, Big T, Young Josh Brown and myself. As I went to get my camera we met up with Miles Holden (photographer), so gone with my cam.

Under the car park down to the triple chair has some of the most fun terrain around. We shredded it hard. Rock drops, Hips and still bits of fresh. Lovin it.

Then we walked along the road a little and dropped in for some fresh lines. We pottered round and did some work taking photos. Grom boy (Josh) had the line of the session dropping from a rock and landing between rocks. Freaked him but he stomped. Young courage ah..... Super fun session.

Q Diddy was also on the vid cam for a little getting the shots. Keep a check on www.snowflick.co.nz for a video of the day.

Another day was on the cards but the weather was again turning bad so I decided to head back south. Lucky I did as I woke to snow in the backyard. What an epic winter so far.

Stay tuned for more action. Next time I hope to have some photos.

Thanks.
