Nice TR Azz, the trip is always what you make of it really.  Unfortunately with all the injuries and not being quite through a massive flu before I left my NZ trip was pretty lame in comparison!

I take it the guy who hammered himself at Cardrona in the comp came unstuck on the canon rail over the gap thats like the second feature in the park?  The guy is lucky he’s not dead if it was, that thing inspired a fair bit of fear!

Thats the one NBG, scary feature.

I will pass on that one.

The park guy we were talking to said there were only two big slams on that feature.
The pelvis guy and another dude who broke Tibia and fibula. Ouch !!!! Three weeks apart.

Yeah didn’t even really enter my thinking that one.  For those of you who are interested to see said feature I found a pic of it in my trip file, I’m still at a loss to understand why they made the start of the landing transition like a knife edge.

BTW have a look at the size of the skier in frame for size reference.

Welcome to the third and final episode of Wanaka Snow 101. A web series that showcases the town of Wanaka, the surrounding ski fields, and activities that are available during the winter months. In this episode follow Sponsor This? as we slash some slush at Treble Cone, then go for a wakeboard at the interestingly named “Dick Park” outside Wanaka.
