The NZ season is in full swing right now and after a slow start snow flakes are falling on the regular! Resorts around the country had a tough start but Cardrona once again led the way in the freestyle stakes getting a decent park up in what seemed like just a couple of days, nice! Mt Hutt has also been putting some work into their park and maybe even more after this bit of pow! Treble Cone is currently winning the base race with a whopping 257cm measurement up the top, TC along with Rainbow just received a fantastic looking 20cms over the past couple of days and Remakables got a big ol 30cms on Fri 8th, not to be left out Whakapapa and Turoa have also been getting hit and are looking wicked…
