There’s nothing like a solid winter in New Zealand’s Southern Alps. And it looks as though the Burton team–lucky dogs–is scoring one. The squad, fueled by Jake Burton and Donna Carpenter, met up for some heli hopping in the Mt. Cook area on the South Island. And the conditions look fantastic for August (but that’s February, in the Southern Hemisphere, you say?).
Gold medalist Chloe Kim and Liu Jiayu, who captured silver in Pyeongchang, hooked up with Jake, Donna, Mark McMorris and Jack Mitrani and were gifted what looks like a bit of blower pow in some really good terrain. The vid feeds are slowly leaking out on Instagram so here are a couple of shots. Fall is just around the corner…..which means winter is next.
