New Zealand July 2020

With winter in full swing this video takes a look at our experiences in this phenomenal 4 season town. Featuring one of my own home recorded songs in the soundtrack. From Skiing and snowboarding to ice skating and local festivities. Queenstown Winter is not to be overlooked!

Chapters/Contents:

1. Through the Night: (0:00)

Starting with the openng of Coronet Peak night ski, complete with fireworks. The season opening of the Remarkables Ski Resort, bumper tubing, ice skating and incredible alpine sunsets. All set to the music of my song 'Through the Night', written and recorded at my Queenstown home in June 2020.

2. Up in the Clouds (Remarkables): (06:12)

A perfect Blue Bird day up at the Remarkables Ski Field. Blue skies above, white fluffy clouds and snow below! Apres Ski at Atlas Beer Cafe' for Queenstown MTB delayed (due to lockdown) end of season celebration.

3. Glenorchy Walkway: (10:31)

Set in the stunning location of Glenorchy's wetlands, we explore the epic surroundings by foot and drone taking in the Peaks of the distant Mt Aspiring National park. This location was once the proposed location of the Dead Marshes in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and is now home to native bird species such as the beautiful black swans.

4. Two Ski Fields in one day: (14:54)

Starting up at the Remarkables Ski Field. Once the weather started to turn we switched to Coronet Peak ski area half way through the day for an epic sunset and night ski/boarding.

5. Some more Advanced Runs (Remarkables): (20:55)

Switching my snowboard for ski's. I was able to focus less on learning a new skill and focus more on enjoying some of the runs I hadn't touched upon this season. Some cool park jumps at the end by Elie and Francesco.
