I’m a newbie to riding in Europe, having learned to snowboard in Canada and spent most of my time riding mud and rocks in Australia and NZ. But since moving back to the UK, I’ve become a fan of snowboarding in Europe. This winter was epic, and the trips we’ve made have always rewarded us with powder mayhem. On our last trip we met up with Ian Gorton and chums. What follows is a condensed version of a week of powder and general mayhem. Enjoy.

#	Hey Chris, I'm thinking of organising ThoughtBoarder UK next season. Quite a few folks have lamented the lack of snowy fun time. Posted by Jim Webber, url @ 29 March 2010 12:39 UT

Dave,

I love riding in NZ, and I've ridden there for 5 out of the 6 last seasons. The area around Queenstown and Wanaka are stunning, and some of the hills have awesome terrain (even if they could do with a few decent lifts).

But there have been seasons where I've ridden mud and rocks at treble cone and concrete peak. 3 or 4 seasons ago it was particularly sucky, and yet over in Aus, it was ok strangely.

I'll be in Wanaka again this year for a week of shredding carnage. Say "hello" if you're around TC in mid-late July.

Jim
