MJB Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Team CSC training camp - Mt. Hutt, New Zealand We just finished our first week of our 3rd annual training camp at Mt. Hutt, NZ. It was the first week in 3 years where we had 5 days in a row without weather related hill closures! Although the forecast is calling for 50 cm of powder tomorrow. Monday may be a great day... Team Riders The team riders at this camp consist of 10 rippers from Team CSC and Team Quebec. We are testing a few new designs in plates and boards as well. I have been freeriding on the Apex plate this week. It takes a couple days to adjust to the different feelings you get on the plate, but I am starting to trust it. And in turn its really works well. Its a reasonable learning curve for any strong carver to adjust too. New Zealand Races Most of the team will attend Junior World Championships in 3 weeks in Wanaka. We will finish the camp with a FIS race on August 20th that we organized at Mt. Hutt. This is the first FIS snowbaord race in 8 years in NZ! There will be a non-FIS category as well. The view from the top lift here at Mt. Hutt is fantastic, looking west at the Southern Alps (see pic), and east towards the fields and Pacific ocean.
