Long over due Blog update here , just wanted to plast up some images from this winter gone an update some from being back home an starting winter here .
This winter away was a real blast , I spent 2 full months in Hokkaido Japan where I filmed a Web video for Monster , then i travelled to the US / Canada where I filmed in Stevens Pass an Whistler BC
I also managed 2 separate trip to Alaska an they were very much a highlight .
AK is a place every1 ( snowboarder or non snowboarder ) should want to experience an the riding there is insane .
This winter Im working on a project with Tim Pierce called Interperation , an its been a good fun winter so far .
Will up date some more images from NZ .
Below are a bunch of random images from my time away an a couple from being back .

The view from the top of you run always looks different from the heli or the bottom , take a few deep breaths an then let er rip .
Filming local lines up Cardrona with my good friend Tim Pierce is just like old times .
I rode this Chute early July whist flying with Harris Mountain an called it the pencil , a great morning warm up that turned out to be a great day filming with Tim, Mt Aspiring in the back ground .
Big an clean west coast swell, a nice way to enjoy being back in NZ after a busy winter away .
