Gosh where has all your snow gone, maybe it is time to start looking at your carbon footprints.
@scottybsactiveinterests26 күн бұрын
Regardless of snow, everybody should be considering their carbon footprints. Worth noting that Mt Hutt strives to be the first NZ ski field to open and had a great snow base in May but got decimated due to rain the week before opening. Like the northern hemisphere, the season has started late with great snow that should last the distance to closing in mid October.
@LukeMorphett17 сағат бұрын
I was there for this season, they had (and still do I believe) a 2 meter base. Plenty of snow. Its was the damn wind and rain! Side note, anyone that says Mt Hutt is not the best ski field in NZ is just wrong.

Very nice. Seems more suitable for ski but not snowboard. I kind of freak out a little when there is a cliff 😂😂😂.
@scottybsactiveinterestsАй бұрын
Skiing is a lot easier as there is a long flattish traverse out on this run which would be painful on a snowboard. I have seen snowboarders take the Poor Man's Heli run on the Raikaia Chutes as this drops out directly near the Raikaia Car Park. No real cliffs but the potential for a very long slide if you have a good spill but at least with powder this is not an issue.

@@stevefox6198 Check out my latest video on skiing South Face. You make exactly the same traverse but drop off sooner to ski down through Towers. Take a look at the Mt Hutt Ski Runs Map and you will see what I mean - it is well sign-posted. Also have a chat to the Ski Patrollers at the top of the Summit Six as they are very helpful regarding current conditions particularly as we move into spring freeze/thaw conditions. Mt Hutt's "firm and fast" forecast description is their code for icy! When they say "we recommend you wear helmets", that is code for very icy! Enjoy.

Nice Scott. Ended up not doing the international on Friday. Didn't see that video before 😢. It was my first time at MtHutt on Friday, and your videos helped a lot with the confidence etc 😊 so thanks again. I have to say, watching the other videos I thought Platter Splater wasn't that steep but I did it anyways 😂. I think the conditions didn't help much. It wasn't icy but a bit hard at the start. I'm sure it feels better when it's softer. Looking forward to seeing a new video of the international. It seems fun. Is it a good one? Will try to head back to MtHutt until the end of the season. Thanks
@scottybsactiveinterestsАй бұрын
Thanks for the nice words. Glad you had a great day on Friday. International is a great run but best enjoyed in the first half of the day before the snow is scraped off the top of the rollovers leaving icy patches that tend to raise the heart rate. As for Platter Splatter, steep but magic when the snow is soft however when firm, you lose a lot of altitude in 3-4 turns! Spring skiing is fantastic at Hutt, the slopes all soften at different times as the sun moves around and there is usually no crowds.

Fridays and Weekends in August, the top car park tends to fill up by 7:45am. Rest of the week days are a bit more relaxed unless it is a powder day. I like to get up early, get my gear on then relax over a coffee before lining up for the lifts. Enjoy your day at Mt Hutt. The snow is fantastic at the moment and the crowds start dialling back now the further we get into spring. Regards Scott
