- The volcanoes of Tongariro National Park in NZ mark the most treasured spot in all of Maori culture. Mike Douglas, Chris Rubens, and Josh Daiek gain unprecidented access to these sacred lands.
NZ is truly a gem popping out of the South West Pacific Ocean.
Although knee deep powder is awesome......and it only happens on rare occasions, it certainly makes you appreciate other aspects of the mountains.
Good video Mike Douglas and team.
With top notch production value and better story telling than anything else involving skis, these videos keep getting better and better.
Best episode this season. Who cares about the same old powclip when u get engulfed in culture and beautiful nature..?
Erik Brandhorst same as for freeride1538 at top
You did a fantastic job at giving a genuine insight into the life of a Ruapehu skier... Bumming around waiting for the weather to clear :p
Luke van Soest god what idiots are commenting here? you all went to european fruity school?
Very interesting perception of mountains from a different culture, but one thing is the same: respect. Great episode @SalomonFreeskiTV
I've moved away from the mountains for a few years, with no skiing possible. These videos help me stay connected to and filled with my passion for skiing in these doldrum years. Keep it up!
That was my home mountain as a kid, some great memories of hiking to the old crater lake and getting the last run back to the ski club, or the skiing in a complete whiteout and being scared witless.
Its not aways 3' of fresh (though that's great). Skiing is long hikes in terrible weather only to curve ice, groomers with groms, absorbing the local culture on rain days, and enjoying every bit of it. Keep up the great work!
Another great vid guys. Love seeing some of the gorgeous mountains you get a chance to ski on., keep up the great work!
I feel like i'm seeing the world through these videos! Amazing! Now for me to go out and see some of these amazing places myself!
this channel is what inbox notifications were invented for............ 'nuff said :-)
Loved the video. Amazing landscape of Central Northlands Volcanos. Used to live in HawkesBay NZ and could see the snow peaked Ruapehu from my house year round. Only skied there one day. Shame. If you are in North Island in the Summer walk the Tongariro Crossing - an excellent day trek.
Thx Mike for yet another fine episode. Your work inspires me and I luv the stories and emotions in connection with freeskiing. Keep up the great work!
Awesome skiing, and great footage, thanks. Respect is a good thing, especially in nature.
Wow, one of the best SFTV in a while, stand out episode for sure. Nice work guys.
Miss this place! Thinking of you Chris and don't forget..............
very nice and big truth!
amazing ... goosebumps
imagine living in ohakune or around it and you've never skied before
No one has ever been hurt in these eruptions eh? The dude who lost is leg in the summit hut might object, nevermind the Tangiwai Disaster.
Brendan Shanahan my response is a bit late...but I assumed he was talking about before Te Heuheu gifted the peaks???
Is 'unprecidented' access similar to unprecedented access?
Expected to see more skiing
So did we!
Mike Douglas =( there's always next year... time to enjoy the brown pow for 5 months
Horizontal rain and sleet = normal Scottish skiing! Have to say though, NZ has better volcanoes!
this is real weird cause this is my home mountain and i never really saw it as that great and someone dreaming to come film there seems weird
That's me warren
"Where I come from, it's pretty much knee deep all the time". Haha not this season
I think we had like 2 or 3 of those days this season possible more up in the alpine hope next seasons better
Yep, I think I jinxed the season with that line. Doh!
Its been pretty rough out west this year. Hopefully the snow gods will give us a double dose next year.
Mike Douglas If you and the crew are ever coming back to NZ or Ruapehu our ski club would love to host you. Its the highest altitude Ski Accommodation in New Zealand. Videos like this are just so great for our mountain!!! Well done to the team
Oh its so sick
Icy!
A lot of imbeciles comment on these Vids. I like the story part! Otherwise all skiing videos would the same.
no skiing ... just chattering...
Borring. To much talking/story.
We need more skiing.
Plenty of other selection for just POW porn it is nice to get the context of the place and the people from time to time.
That's the Ruapehu I know! It's soo exposed that most of the snow blows straight off leave it hard and fast.
