@@krissp8712 He really does. It kind of hurts me for him to have these 10 to 15 minute videos with original content and ideas, and meanwhile there are people who just steal others content and get much more views and likes.
Heres some extra info based off my 4 years at cardrona: I have never seen exhibition bowl groomed, it is nearly always the best moguls on the mountain. I highly recommend the drop offs on the lookers left ski boundary on willows. It is usually incredible and only one of those parts need a hike up. In my experience, bowling alley is nearly always groomed also, and paired with the typically groomed powder keg, give a great experience in my opinion. I also think secret bowl is underrated since in my experience, it only gets technical into the wxit halfway through. I can also say the same for outer limits, but I agree that it is one of the hardest reds and is a great challenge for skiiers ready to do their first black. Under run is highly underrated in my opinion so you don't need to go to whitestar after doing powder keg. Willows in the middle to slightly on the lookers right can be mogully at times so the lookers left (big willows) is typically better. Big willows also has some fun sort-of half pipes similar to the tc saddle reds but considerable easier. I recommend willows to any intermediate to low advanced if it has had some great snowfall in the last 1 or 2 weeks and the side drop offs mentioned earlier to high advanced skiiers wanting some untracked powder but are willing to put in the work in a medium length traverse. I also agree about the valley view recommendation last video, but also would recommend the whitestar carpark since it is smaller and typically less busy than the valley view one. This is all on my opinion and all based off average weekend conditions in nz.
A note on the pringles area: Although the lift never went in, there were some earthworks done for a traverse from that basin back to the valley view chair. The terrain is accessible from behind the captain's cafe, although isn't patrolled so ski at your own risk, and you can ski out to the valley view chair provided there is enough snow, if not, the walk isn't too bad. In my opinion it's one of the most fun areas of the mountain.
Thanks for this i just finished my holiday in cardrona after watching this vid!
Bro is still making high-quality videos every week, no matter the fact that his channel isn't famous.
I really hope it blows up some day when a famous athlete gives him a shout out! He deserves it tbh.

It's happening! The NZ differences video got picked up by the algo and it's sitting around 60k views today!

Just curious, what is your favourite ski filed in New Zealand?
