Another great week in the Southern Lakes.

Diaries Downunder 4 is now up on Snowflick.co.nz and nzsnowboard.com. Also all the goods from Style Wars in New Zealand is up and viewable at stylewars.co.nz. I ended up in 3rd after the ride vote. Eric Willett won the overall. The New Zealand team managed to win the overall as well. 

The final Remarkables Cadbury Moro Slopestyle was on Saturday so we went up there did our runs then rushed back to Snow Park for the end of Style Wars..had a medan session on the step-up, watched the new Sandbox film premiere then jumped back in the car to get back to Queenstown for the Slopestyle prizegiving at Buffalo. I ended up winning and won the overall as well. Has been a good season.

Coronet Peak closed today but The Remarkables is open for another 3 weeks and is still super fun.

4 days of being judged.

The last 4 days I have been in front of judges. Started on Wednesday with the LG FIS Continental Cup qualifiers. I ended up qualifying in second. The weather was atrocious so the finals got moved to Thursday in hope that the weather would be better. Not the case. The slush had frozen but the course was somehow slower than qualifiers. A frustrating afternoon but I ended up in 5th. The Norwegians killed it taking first, second and third and they sang their national anthem at prizegiving on the podium. 

On Friday we went up to The Remarkables to film some park stuff for episode 4 of Diaries Downunder then left to go to the Snow Park Invitational Rail Jam. $6000 up for the taking and Pooch took it out. He is good! I came second and walked away happy but pennyless. The MDTV episode should be up in the next day or so.

Yesterday was the third Cadbury Moro Slopestyle and it was dooooope. Although the landings were rock solid the weather was bluebird and half of Asia turned up. I fell on my first run but pulled myself together for my second run. I landed my first backside 270 and backside 9 in competition so was stoked to take the win.
