eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 It's the TR you've been waiting so long for... EBC's NZ trip this summer. This is a rounded photographic endeavour based on my trip to the Southern Hemisphere mountains as a whole. Since i crashed out after only 5 days skiing on a month long trip, there's a ton of other non-snow related photos which show you my entire trip. *** Can you please wait unti i've made the TR bit by bit, post by post before making any comments, so it can be viewed as a whole, with comments after *** otherwise i won't put the picture up you really want to see Flying into Hong Kong where i stopped for 6 hours before getting another 2 flights to take me to my final destination airport - Queenstown in New Zealand I spotted Dave's plane in Hong Kong airport lol The boys on the lift at Cardrona My brother at Cardrona Link to post Share on other sites

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 The Wanaka skate sessions My bro skating in Wanaka After our day trip to Queenstown a big storm blew in, closing the resorts for one day - the following day Cardrona closed due to a virus which took out about 70 of their staff. I bought a helmet in Queenstown, and 2 days later skied down this short chute (this part is called the Arcadia chutes) - my skis slipped and i tumbled over the rockface to the right of the snow, ending the ski trip early.

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 The Southern Hemisphere party continued regardless and i went to see Shapeshifter ---- thanks Shapeshifter, the trip to Queenstown to buy your ticket and a helmet probably saved my life The Wanaka crew at Shapeshifter - Menna, EBC, Barnie, my bro, Marnie and Scotty Shapeshifter One of my favourite photos from the whole trip Link to post Share on other sites

eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 db this was all for you actually, i felt sorry for you and the 20 minutes a week of internet at work policy, thought you might like this OR maybe you won't since since it's not full of the sickest lines you've ever seen and NO i didn't fall down a massive couloir sorry. i'll go back to NZ one day and next time i won't go near resorts, i want to go there with a bc partner and tour the club fields. i absolutely loved NZ, it's a magical place.

So this is the picture we have all been waiting for eh I'll give it to you that that you rolled over a cliff where you shouldn't have That isn't a no fall zone though I would have been skiing that all day as well. A nice little line. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 you can see in that photo (just before i crashed) that the line is pretty skied out by that point - we had skied it and other little lines in the arcadia chutes all morning - they were really fun until i fell. the storm that blew in let us take those lines as well - before that you couldnt access the chutes, it was all just rocks, so we lapped it up that morning. i didnt have my camera at that point, so in the afternoon went back to that line known as the 'dog-leg' and sent my brother to the bottom. he didnt take pictures of me falling, he was running towards me at that point - but judging by this picture he took he wasnt going to take anything like what i wanted him to do..... if i hadnt of fell and he had been standing a bit closer and using the damn zoom, i could have had some good shots of me skiing that line. ohh well.

Fattwins 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 ebc dont worry about a clean TR you sounded bitchy more than anything. Someone was stoked to see the pictures so posted that makes a TR. The top is no fall if you dont point it straight over the cliffs. My only advice os to next time understand that conditions change and dont get camera balls. Nice pictures though time to get a really camera though EBC if you like snapping shots.
