Epic storm.
It is bad to use the word epic but this really has been an epic one. The last storm dropped 80cm in the last 48 hours and has just started snowing again. Once the storm breaks we are going to have over a meter of snow on the ground and its going to be an epic season.

Bluebird
Well if you have been to NZ before and mostly if you have been to Ohakune and the ski fields around here you know that the weather is unpredictable because we do not sit in a large mountain range, we are a flat area with a few mountains that stick up around here and seem to attract all of the gnarliest weather that you can think of. So it is strange that we have had such a great time with the weather over the last 2 weeks, I have been working non stop at the mountain doing demo days and it seems to be bluebird after bluebird day for the last two weeks. Wild weather that is suppose to be ending for a bit as of tomorrow but it has been great while it lasted. Today will be one of the last times I will be able to see the sky for a while because we are suppose to be getting some snow soon.
The demos have been going well for both companies and a great response from the public and the shops that they buy their equipment from.
Everything in kune is going well and the people are great, most things are going as planned but you cant plan for others that's why we live and keep on going. Great times down here and I will post up some pics soon.
