Yep, the US Ski team went heli skiing in New Zealand last week and they got shacked. Pretty fun to watch them hucking and ripping around and hooting.
“Call it El Niño, the conditions in the Southern Hemisphere this year have been supreme. The snow gods paid a visit to New Zealand for both the men and the women, giving them the chance for some powder days and heli-skiing adventures. Thanks to trustees Steven Reid, Eric Resnick and more, for making this adventure possible. The Speed Unicorns—Laurenne Ross, Alice McKennis and Jackie Wiles—traveled to Mt. Cook for a shred session featuring faceshots galore, while the American Downhillers—Marco Sullivan, Steven Nyman, Andrew Weibrecht and Travis Ganong—enjoyed some freshies at Mt. Aspiring.” – Us Ski Team
Last season, 2 young members were killed in an avalanche in the Alps. Hopefully, they better understand avalanche information.
