and cardrona is just great. no one here. incredible park.

snowpark is crazy also.

for all you people considering 2000 dollars weeks n whistler or mt hood,consider NZ it s cheaper and you get to ski crazy ass snowparks. real bum life here.

realy if you guys hesitate for next year dont. it s a crazy trip, such a good vibe here.

i m so stoked to be here. i hope you guys can save for the plane tickets and make it here someday cause it s realy nice.


cya.

Are you on there on your own? I was ment to go this summer with a bunch of mate but they have all dropped out for various reasons. Want to go on my own, but doing a ski holiday on my own is a little more nerve racking.

I don't think I'll be able to go during the summer because the season goes through like september right?

However, once I graduate in 3 yrs, im moving there for the forseeable future for sure.

did all last season on my own. Just bought a plane ticket and figured it out from there. NZ is so safe and easy. Back again this season but only for a month.

i know what i meant is that s it less than 2000 for a week.
i paid 1000 for plane, then 300 for season pass, then 400 for a month of rent.
so it s not that expensive for a month of skiing.

dude it is true but you can neither hit the 7 jumps in a row nor the 42 features...

the jump line is 4 jumps, which are not that big, and the rail line in like 10 features in a row

mad sick though, super well shaped.

but i like cardrona better because the run is much much longer, and you get to do some skiing in the run, which is nice for the warm up.

anyway both place have sick parks.
