Early August 2010 - Rail Jam, Snow Park NZ and Hiking at The Remarkables

9th of August 2010

There is a really good rail line at Snow Park that's plenty of fun.

It's been pretty dry around NZ the last few weeks. We have had cold weather but clear skies. Not to worry though - there has been plenty of spots to go shred and at this time of the year it's all action.

We got a light snow fall over 10cm at Remarks so Josh Clark and I went on the hike for a few fresh turns. Snow Park is also looking really good with a huge number of rails set up, as well as a sick jump line and the pipe is looking super.

We have also had the Export 33 ParkLife Rail Jam in Queenstown on Friday August 6. They had a nice set up this year and everyone was going for it. It's always a fun night going down to the park and watching some local riders while having a few beers.

We have just had a big storm come through that has dropped 20-60cm and is still going over the fields around the South Island, so it's looking good for a few powder turns.

Hiking at the Remarks.

Josh found some snow in this shot out past Lake Alta.

There are always little spots like this off the side of the trail where you can whack a turn.

Snow Park is looking really good.

Nick Poohachoff was showing of his sick style at Snow Park.

The Parklife Rail Jam was fun night.

The Remarkables trucked snow into Queenstown for the Friday Night Parklife Rail Jam.
