A Day Of Boarding Celebration

Nearly five decades after founding Burton, Jake Burton Carpenter’s impact continues to shape snowboarding. On March 14, 39 resorts will honour his legacy through A Day For Jake a global invitation to simply get out and ride. “Less about ceremony and more about participation. It’s a day to get on snow. To ride with friends. To watch snowboard films, tune your gear, and revisit your favorite riding spots,” a Burton spokesperson said, adding, “If you can’t celebrate at a resort—that’s ok. Go surf.

Great field that, although not big, makes up for variety and is in no way boring; plenty of advanced runs if you want them. Had some of the best skiing in the country here. Some great runs off the top ridge for a 20 minute walk. It's not crowded, with a relaxed atmosphere and accommodation at Ohau lodge - located at the base of the field has accommodation from back packers to beautiful rooms overlooking the lake, mostly built I think in the 60's / 70's and retains that style. Great bar and social dinning; open log fires. Twizel and Omarama are the next closest accommodation centers about 30 min away. Mad not to drop in for a couple of days if in the region. Very beautiful area.
