Emi Earle has a house there, and after we meet the Austrian crew who are staying with her it didn't took long to get to know her. She is a pretty cool kiwi girl that's for sure not that she led us 4 stay as well at her house, she also makes amazing cookies. :D
All in all a really cool stay. I hope we see her again some time and can give back what she did for us. thx so much.
On Tuesday it started to dump like crazy and you guys can't even imagine how stoked we where. Ready to go out an play in the snow and shred some white powder. Mt Olympus was on....incredible powder all day hand in hand with bluebird weather...amazing.

On Friday we went back to Christchurch where Emi hast a beach house....ridiculous, so cool. its up the hill with an amazing view over the beach and ocean. It was the night that I will remember for the rest of my life. It was the night of the Earthquake. It was around 4.30 a.m. when some reallty started to shake under me, till I realized what was going on the quake was probblay goin on for already 10sec. and it kept going for another 10seconds. Luckly nothing happend we where all fine. Just 10 km away from us houses where really damaged and destroyed. Thanks to God that no one died.

Right now we are on the north island waiting for good weather to ride the last couples of days at Mt. Ruapehu and end the trip with the freeride world tour contest.
So stoked.... :D
