A spring weekend in Wanaka

It's mid September, the snow is melting, the air is warmer, why not head to Wanaka for a late season shred!? This particular weekend the weather didn't look great but we had some nice patches. Saturday was nice, Sunday was a day of blizzard-like wind and rain and being stuck inside confined to the couch, but Monday cleared up nicely and with fresh snow on the hills we decided to head up to Cardrona.

I took my camera and we had a sick day doing a range of fun activities.

Heres some documentation of the weekend.

This is a nice rock drop we found at Cardrona. There was fresh snow and a perfect landing, so we hit it. This is a shot of me taken by Ash Fogelberg. I was using a Nikon d60 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens.

The Cardrona Noodle bar is a strange place, but it has a nice ledge that Sam Coleman was keen to hit, here he is doing a front board.

Here's Sam again hitting Cardrona's 60ft kicker.

All in all we had a sweet weekend riding and we were stoked! Spring riding is fun!

Great shots. Hopefully some material gathered for projects. Love the rock drop.
Hope there is still snow next weekend. Fresh would be good.
