BACK ISSUES FROM 2007


ISSUE #46 SEPTEMBER 2007

Winters back, and riding conditions are the best they have been all season at Cardrona, Coronet Peak, Snow Park, Treble Cone and the Remarkables – 30 cms of fresh snow has just fallen on these areas, and its looking good for a long spring!…although avalanche danger is still super high in the backcountry, so be careful out there. Up North, Ruapehu is firing as well, so make the most of it….

Our September issue is now on sale, and it comes with a pullout calendar for your dunny.

Every shot is from this season, and despite the challenging start, crew have been getting creative and making the most of it.

We have the exclusive on the acid drop off the Snow Park bridge, and the Kiwis claimed it first, with Will Jackways and Jake Koia putting their gonads on the line.

‘Perspective’ covers 10 up and coming riders and what snowboarding means to them

Plus we cover Mitch Browns win at the Burton Open, yeah bro!

Alright, that’s it from us, we’re off riding… you should be too

Cheers!
