Transitioning from one medium to another ❤️ 🪂
Just home from Japan and into the sky. @magicland_adventuresportsfest is kicking off and we’ve out having fun at Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park with a Speedflying Boogie.
Huge shout out to @mtcookskiplanesandhelis for being super keen to run lifts for the event and all the enthusiasm and safe flying from the @magicland_adventuresportsfest crew.
Also such an amazing time running a team off Mt Catriana down to the Tasman valley

The last few days have been epic – sniffing out the goods around the region as we move into Spring season here in Japan
If you’ve been over here this or last season – what are some of the best lines you’ve ridden ?
Next season isn’t all that far away and we get fully booked out pretty early. Getting touch if you’d like to come out and explore some of the best touring and split boarding terrain in Hokkaido

Getting outside and having fun is one of the best ways to put a smile on your dial!
Ski Touring here in Japan is simply the best way to crank up those smiles and chase away the lack of Japow Blues.
