One more Sleep!!!

Gday Team,

well there's only one more sleep before Chris, Myself and Brentski start our journey north to the wonderful powder haven that is Niseko on the north island of Japan. Keep an eye on the blog as we will be updating daily( if not too wasted from shredding shoulder deep mega pow) and adding pics and hopefully video as well. We have a crew of 17 of us over the 2 weeks in Niseko so there should be plenty of action to report on.
We should be cutting our first turns sometime sunday morning, and should be looking a lot like this guy to the right here, but with a bigger grin.

peace
Matt

Rippon Festival delivers the goods

Hey all,

What a rippa Rippon was on saturday. The morning dawned grey and cloudy but, as usual, Wanaka turned on the glorious weather and by 2 the sun was shining and the view was as spectacular as ever.
Highlights for me were Eru Dangerspiel, Shapeshifter and Kora, but all the bands put on a great show.
The Base crew was well represented on the day, with all staff bar one getting down to the funky tunes.
Big props to all the volunteers and event crew for making the whole thing happen, especially Sam G for her tireless work.

If you missed it, make sure you get there for 2010
