After a dismal backcountry ski season in the Pacific Northwest, we watched the snow melt away rapidly and our summer activities started early. Then came the email - my film, "The Ritual" was accepted to be premiered at the New Zealand Mountain Film Festival. Yes, New Zealand in July. Winter - new snow and a chance to ski in a whole new part of the world.
So our adventure begins in the Southern Alps of the south island at the NZ Mountain Film Festival in Wanaka. There has been a little snow high up at the ski areas - just enough to have them open for business when we arrived yesterday. I'm hoping for more new snow, less gale force winds as it gets deposited these next few days and hopefully a chance to carve some turns in the southern hemisphere.
More as the story develops.
