In this video we travel from Queenstown New Zealand to Jindabyne, Australia for our first day back snowboarding at Perisher. It's been over a year since we've been snowboarding in Australia and I'm stoked to see the park setup in Perisher. Last year in Australia we were surprised by the terrain parks at Perisher and Thredbo and also the amount of terrain to explore. The biggest highlight that I'm looking forward to is meeting up with all the friends we made in Australia last year!

Hey Kevin, if my mate Liam says hi to you in Perisher on Friday or Saturday. Freak him out and say you knew he was coming

[@Craig-rk8dp]

Kev/TJ welcome back again to Australia. It's extremely dangerous driving between Canberra and Jindy at night. Kangaroos often feed just off the road edges and always bounce right in front of you or into side of your car. They're are not the smartest..., like a moth to the flame. You need to wash off your speed as well as using massive driving lights to see them before they destroy your car....., or preferably don't drive at night if you don't have too. You've come right on the end of our shoulder season as August is the best month for conditions in Australia. Still a bit of snow around and we're heading back down again in a few days time. Sunny today for you guys.

[@jettnicholson6499]

Craig64 had a pig run in front of us once

[@harrisoncolyer8723]

So good to see you guys in Australia

[@TheBrotherPrime]

I see you prepared the appropriate music! You guys are now honorary Australians.

[@RobGams]

Nothing wrong with staying out on those random wet days every now and then. No one else ventures out so you have the place to yourself and you get to really test the elements...and that gore Tex lol.

[@alanwong8531]

Have fun guys. A few sunny day ahead with good spring conditions.

[@JohnathanBuckhouse]

Man so jealous!!! I will be out there with you guys next season 🤘🏼loved the video

[@peterrogenthien3116]

Johnathan Buckhouse is in the chat

[@gregy1194]

The cold front stopped the melt for a few days but the spring melt will re-commence Wed 18th. Enjoy the sun and snow. 👍 You boys should find a guide and get into the backcountry.

[@HuyLy94]

They would've been here for the cold front their flight was dated the 15th so the afternoon that this was filmed (the 16th) would've been when it turned to powder

[@gregy1194]

@@HuyLy94 Ok. Whatever. Point was, it got cold, it delayed the melt.

[@georgeo2225]

Should go to perisha in August

[@esdarley6713]

Hi Kevin, I talked to you briefly at the baggage carousel in Sydney. Glad you are making the most of your time in Australia in spite of the somewhat character-building weather.

[@OryxAnAngryBoi]

Hey guys! It was soo good to have you out here at Cardies! Almost unreal to actually meet you both! Have a rad time in Aussie!

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Cardie was epic! Will definitely be back next year! See ya then!

[@riveralatoia9198]

i aspire to travel and snowboard around the country like you someday soon :) all love

[@jasonlbn]

You guys are hardcore

[@tonez2196]

Really sucks about the weather! Should definitely try coming a month earlier on in the season, hope it clears up for yout guys, would hate for everyone to think aussie conditions are always like this

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

they are always shit lets be honest

[@mot1thom]

Your music editing/selection was so on pointe for the perisher section! Wish I could spend more time snowboarding than editing; love your life, keep up the great work!

[@elpli9]

So great meeting you at the airport!!!

[@AnonymousBoarder]

Looks like one very wet day, hope the rest of the trip has some better weather. Sick riding as usual

[@ridelikeagirlaus8751]

You should really do the Australian trip in August next time. It’s the best conditions then. Also hit up Mt Hotham for the steeps and side country. The jumps and park have been amazing these last good few years.

[@omarmahmoud9807]

Hey, How should I go about finding my way through the park? I’ve been there once or twice but have only used the main two lifts, not sure how to access other parts of the park

[@ridelikeagirlaus8751]

Fitness Geeks the big park at Hotham is left of Summit. Just head up then turn left off the lift and the jumps are up top with the boxes and rails down the bottom. The small rail park is at the top of Audi Quattro lift under the balcony of Swindlers bar. That one goes into the trees and pops out at Basin train but you can hike back up if you don’t want to do a full loop through Slalom Gully down swindlers train back to Audi Quattro.

[@Bad_Riders]

Haha love the attitude in the carpark...

[@markusferreira]

I was there 3 weeks ago! Last time I missed you guys by 2! My first season snowboarding and your videos have been awesome :) got my capita doa because of you! Hope to see you guys in Australia next year!

[@taylahjade708]

Hey guys!! Next time you should definitely try flying into Canberra instead!! Such a quicker and less painful drive. Keep doing what your doing

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Thanks for the advice! Will definitely do that next time!

[@dEeKoiiz]

Just got to Perisher for this weekend, hope to meet you boys

[@zack.123.]

Cardrona was so much better. I wouldn't have left NZ. The winter season is still going off plus your collabs with David Jones are awesome.

[@codgamer]

I nearly hit a horse at night driving to Bullocks flat!

[@pandrico]

We urgently need a spin off channel of Kevin singing 80s classics

[@georgeg1395]

This weather reminded me of the March weather in Moscow. I ride on our local slope in the same conditions in the spring:o) Respect from Russia, dudes!

[@dw1508]

I prefer Thredbo, our rainy weather welcomed you. hope the conditions get better for you guys.

[@morganbarrett5311]

Terrible conditions, so bad y’all can’t even ride ... ... Tj: what a great 1st day, I loved it

[@santosaunders5265]

My home mountain! I was just there, love ur vids so much keep doing what you are doing!

[@ellstackeradventures]

What awesome

Yo if your ever back in Perisher this year. Around late July, hit us up keen to hit the park with you guys.

[@petersaunders4864]

Hey guys, how was the new Leichhardt chairlift, it was only opened this season changed from a t-bar.

[@chusay2562]

Its just a chair to get to the park

[@petersaunders4864]

@@chusay2562 i use to use the t-bar at Leichhardt all the time and rarely used the park as between the trees there is the best stash of powder..

My home ski resort

[@mrcocobro]

yeah the aus

[@NeoKyo05]

ooophh big effort going to perisher! I reckon it feels alot easier going to Sydney to Hakuba/Niseko than the 6 hour drive to Jindy/Perisher/Thredbo

[@flandrescarlet2903]

next time you need to go to jindabyne fly to canberra it cuts the drive down to about 1 and a half hours

[@lazypanda88]

Ah man! I've been really wanting to get back out to perisher! It's been 3 weeks since I last hit the slopes!

[@petertrinh214]

What a rough first day in Australia!

[@fabdatasolutions]

Let me know if you come again to aus!

[@CalebRobinson4]

Tj! What luggage bag is that?

[@BoardArchive]

it's a dakine bag, not sure the model

[@sllaaaa]

A BIG WELCOME FROM CANBERRA~~

[@tryxtrr8870]

Damn, I was there from the 13th to the 16th i must've just missed you, that sucks :( it was snowing on the drive out so i hope you get some good weather!!

[@inmotion_snow]

this is where the goretex gear comes in right? need to get me some of those for days like these

[@vezttno2654]

I was there on the same day it sucked cause the rain

[@bitchfuck123456789]

Thanks for all your vids! They helped me alot. One thing missing from your gear list! What snowboard bags do you guys use to fly with? Curious about flying bags for snowboard protection as you dudes fly around alot .

[@robertwalden9390]

you sholuld go down happy vale and go threw the trees it is so fun for a little warm up track

[@HighsideASB]

Dayum Kev looks drenched! Actually you both do!!!

[@ellstackeradventures]

No more David:(

[@MoreAnonymous]

hey boys, try not to drive between dusk and dawn in country roads, it's when all the roo's are out, quite dangerous, stay safe

[@rileymcwilliams2822]

Wrong side of the mountain bro... smh. Thredbo all the way!

[@thomisonnnnn]

Bro you guys are insane. Definitely watch out for the kangaroos!

[@SpongeZoe]

I love your videos but I have a question! I am having some trouble with turning on my front edge. My newer board that I use is a little bit bigger than my older snowboard. Any tips that will help me out this winter?

[@CODisGR8]

Why not thredbo and go ride holy bowly

[@oystercovecraftsman9219]

Holy bowly looks so fun!

[@nugupontop]

IKR Thredbo best

[@omarmahmoud9807]

Does anyone have helpful tips on how to find different areas of the Perisher park? I’ve been there twice now and I’ve never seen where these dudes are at in the video

[@josephauler6165]

Wife got me the new 2020 head space for our anniversary. How do you like that board?

[@malikross134]

Gonna be flying with my boards to Colorado soon, anything I should know about taking them from a regular suitcase?

[@malintous1]

5 days hey? Shame about the weather what date are you guys here till?

[@VanJeans]

Were there any snakes on the mountain

[@macpolo2164]

Still reckon you guys missed out on Turoa in North Island NZ. Best snowboarding park/bowls in Australasia

Have you ever been to winter park resort

[@JohnnySnipes]

Sweet as

[@ricekrispy4909]

When do you guys leave, i gotta come say hi

[@tygallow3013]

Be careful driving at night. If you hit a Kangaroo it can destroy a car & hire car companies can then be a bitch to deal with. Rain sucks - should've come out about 2 or 3 weeks earlier. Hope you get some better weather

[@angelex2483]

Why perisha Thredbo is where it's at

[@sharnicam6507]

Damn, wish I knew you was down, would of been good to get tips in real life to help get my self better on the board

Just a warning, it is possible for people to steal your identity with your boarding pass number and the details that you find on your boarding pass, I recommend not showing it in video. Unless it is just your name and destination printed, don't do it

[@RyanArmstrong89]

im in jindabyne and ride thredbo if u wanna hang

[@gged664]

Beware of Kangaroo's guys. If they're scared they wont hop away they will hop infront of your car first and try go the other direction. They are extremely stupid lol

[@bertman4]

Sucks about the rain but hopefully temperatures will drop and you guys stay up high.

[@hypegfx5372]

Five and a half hours ain’t half bad. I’m an Australian max I’ve done is 13 hours. In one day.

[@jesseklueckmann9892]

Sorry about the rain dudes come in early-mid August next time

[@JFomo]

We've had mostly shit weather this year.

[@zhaohang0616]

I was there last weekend. 😆 missed you guys again just like last year. Many of my friends took photos with you. Hope u have a good time at perisher.
