Roadside attractions take on too much more meaning in snowboarding but the New Zealand snowpack clings to the top of the hills, when the chance to get away from the same old hits you can best bet the Diaries Down Under crew will be there first.

From the start the pow turn has been the essence of snowboarding, no matter how many you do there will be infinite more to do and transferring the pleasure of that turn into an image is a constant.

As a fair majority of my video work for the past couple years has been in the mountains I decided to split my work entirely into snow and no snow so this is the snow part of that. Work from Monster Energy, CHILL Adventures, Volcom, Yeah For It, Frontside Media, World Heli Challenge and more.

At the end of this season I had a few clips left over from working with Will J, a bit of pipe here, a trip to the clubbies there so we got to editing it with some POV footage that Will had from the season to give you this little piece.

After a few years of coming back to the CHILL Series it’s nice that something is always different but the weather patterns this year were unexpected, but at least we got good sun on the second day and the young crew is really crushing it. New Zealand skiing has a really strong depth to it right now and every time I’m at a mountain I get reminded of it, either just riding a big rat pack or watching Hank Bilous send it for this comp.
Also Cam and Tom tried their hand at some infomercials, I think they need work but could be fun for next year.

This year the format is all new, just to make it to the comp we have spent the past few weeks with our team of Chalrie Lyons, Will Jackways and myself. It’s kind of a strange situation with very few teams having a completely new edit such as we have but it’s all just a game to see who the two teams that will get to fly at Mt Cook are so I have to ask you to help out and throw a vote our way over at http://worldhelichallenge.com/2014/08/the-way-of-the-lyon/

It’s quite nice watching how many people like your shots when they get shared around by the big guys and stoked that those at Volcom International are even looking at my work.

It’s been quite some time since we finished an epic two month journey of shooting a lot of fresh snow and with this snow year it feels even longer ago but after the release of the Monster Energy piece I talked with Will and we felt there were a bunch of shots we both liked so I’ve cut this as a hope to fill in a few pieces which may have not been seen in the first cut that was as Monster does and as a majority. snow-porn.

For a decidedly white day it was a rather fun and mellow comp and for my first time working with Volcom a good chance to get a little more weird on the logo animation.

Early last week I got out the back for another day on the split board which seems to be becoming more regular than riding the lifts for me this season and this article we shot explains a little about why and the photos explain the rest. Will J getting some of the best snow of this season.
