#15 July/August 1997

RIDER Dani Meier
LOCATION: Stuben, Austria
PHOTOGRAPHER: Peter Mathis

Dani ‘Kiwi’ Meier drops a sweet Austrian cornice on the cover. Inside, the main feature “Journeys” looks at this destination and many more, as seen through the eyes of travelling Kiwis. This includes stories by Dean’o Johnston about Europe, Russia by Dani, Austria by Steve Edgecombe, a USA road trip by Trevor Ponting, Aaron Jamieson, Glen Jones and Quentin Robbins, Japan by Sam Lindsay, France by Andrew Mikkelson, Alasaka by Shaun McComb, and a rash of BC, Canada spots like Blackcomb, Fernie, and Red Mountain. We talk to the hopeful NZ riders planning for snowboarding’s debut at the ’98 Winter Olympics, and in “Trick Tip” Deni Bevin takes us through a McTwist. Paul Trapski makes his mark in one of the most in-depth interviews we’ve ever published, while Jeremy Caird and Louisa Muir are featured in “Fast Forward”.
