http://mpora.com/videos/91HoHXh9E Here’s an interesting new series from down under – The Clubbies looks at what’s happening up on New Zealand’s club ski fields. Episode 1 features Temple Basin, Mt Olympus, Craigieburn and Porters.

Don’t let the old skier talking about “gays on trays” put you off – he (and the video) have a lot to say about an often overlooked area of the snowboarding world – there’s certainly nowhere else like it. Anyone with Whitelines Issue 90 to hand can read about Ed’s visit to the land of the dreaded ‘nutcrackers’, or you can check out Dom Harington’s video diary from the same trip.
