First week in NZ

After Australia i flew to NZ was an ok flight, i arrived in christchurch and then got a mini plane to queenstown was so weird because there was no passport control or security you just walk on to a plane. Queenstown is one of the scariest and amazing airports to land at as it is in a valley between some big mountains.


Got picked up from Queestown and have been staying in Wanaka with Team GB. The next day after my flight i did my first ever World Cup, which was also the first qualifying event for the 2014 Olympics up at Cardrona. It was supposed to be practice day first however due to poor weather forecast they cancelled practice day and brought the qualification forward. So i only got 5 runs of training and then had to do a run in my first ever world cup event haha, however was all good, a good experience for the future.


We have been going up to Snowpark for the past few days and i have been mainly riding pipe, super stocked on it because i have learnt how to do bs5s out the coping and am starting to get a run together!!!! :)

Snowpark setup, not bad hey..



Unfortunately the past few days have been bad weather so haven't had the chance to be riding it. Have been going to the cinema which has to be the best cinema ever !! all the seats are old sofas so comfy and they stop the movie half way through and you can buy freshly baked cookies they are amazing !!! haha and also we went to puzzling world which is a place with loads of illusions like a pool ball roling up a hill or a room were sam and row are really big and im really small, see pic below!!
