Wapta Traverse – April 2019

AsideMay 13, 2020May 13, 2020 live4therushLeave a comment

The winter of 2018/2019 had many highs and lows as far as my ski season was concerned. I was doing my second season of ski patrol at Silver Star with Marisa and we had big plans to board and tour as much as possible like the season previous. It started out pretty good with a […]

Backcountry Shredding 101: The FUNdamentals

AsideJanuary 17, 2019February 9, 2021 live4therushLeave a comment

Another winter season has come along and I can’t help notice the increased popularity to venture outside the resort boundary lines and shred in the backcountry. I took my very first avalanche safety course 6 years ago, and couldn’t believe how hard it was to find someone even interested in the idea of signing-up and […]

Winter 2017/2018 – Work and Play in the Mountains

AsideApril 18, 2018April 18, 2018 live4therushLeave a comment

The winter season is almost over, and it seemed like it was always good conditions for the whole winter unless you talked to someone who doesn’t snowboard or ski and spent the majority of their winter shovelling snow off the driveway. I was employed as Ski Patrol at Silver Star Mountain this winter season with […]

Snow Stoke Q&A: Rance Tuff (aka gohuckyourself)

AsideOctober 20, 2016January 17, 2019 live4therush1 Comment

It’s been a wicked winter for us in the southern hemisphere experiencing both the ups and downs of what a splitboard season in New Zealand is like and why the existing yet very small backcountry community is slowly growing. Even now that we’ve packed our split gear away and pulled the bikes out for a […]

Splitfest NZ 2016: Temple Basin

AsideSeptember 18, 2016September 8, 2017 live4therushLeave a comment

Since 1929 Temple Basin has been serving the skiing community of New Zealand. Between a mandatory 45min hike to the hill from the road and rope tow lifts, the crowds tend to be non-existent even when we were there on a powder weekend. The terrain is all time as well. With no groomed trails and […]

NZ Ski Touring: STFU Brewster Hut

AsideSeptember 12, 2016October 3, 2017 live4therush1 Comment

Within the Makarora region of Mount Aspiring National Park and heading west through the Haast Pass at Fantail Falls (pink star), we decided to tramp up with our splitboards to Brewster Hut for another epic Kiwi-style backcountry ski adventure. When looking from a topo map the tramp (black dashed line) is only 2.5km in distance, […]

NZ Ski Touring: Roy’s Peak

AsideAugust 25, 2016September 8, 2017 live4therushLeave a comment

If you spend some time in Wanaka, there’s a good chance you’ll hear about the must hike up to Roy’s Peak. We decided to take on this classic Kiwi tramp with the added challenge of bringing our splitboards along for the adventure. The trail itself was only a 6km drive from our holiday park heading […]

NZ Ski Touring: Pisa Range

AsideJuly 29, 2016September 8, 2017 live4therush1 Comment

As winter has begun to shape up here in New Zealand and precipitation has come along with the cold, we’ve finally started checking out some of the local touring around us in Wanaka. Day 1 (07/25/2016) The Pisa Range is best accessed by driving up Snow Farm and using the cross country trails in order […]

Bad Weather ≠ Bad Trip: Icefall Traverse

AsideJune 24, 2016September 8, 2017 live4therushLeave a comment

The weather can be a large contributing factor to how a trip goes, but to ensure good times through and through again it’s going to take a lot more than that. People always talk about good vibes and that’s what I’m referring to. The ideal winter ski trip weather includes big dumps of snow during […]
