#14 May/June 1997

RIDER Steve Scott
LOCATION: Backcountry Heli
PHOTOGRAPHER: Tony Harrington

Stephen Scott is the benefactor of some Backcountry Heli powder and the cover shot. One of the main feature stories inside looks at the ’95 and ‘96 Ruapehu eruptions, which have heavily affected the snow industry of New Zealand. There’s also “Players”, which looks at some of our top riders including Dean’o Johnston, Kirsty Barwick, Dylan Butt, Deni Bevin, Glen Jones, Steve Dunstan, Jeremy Caird, Tony Woolston, Trevor Ponting, Lee Rowlands, Jeremy Scott and Shaun McComb. In “Trick Tip” Quentin Robbins shows us a blind 180, and Rob Johnstone takes us backcountry in “No Boundaries”. The Buyer’s Guide this year includes outerwear, and there’s a comprehensive “Area Guide”. Pam Bell writes “Cowgirls Premiere”, a feature on hitting Fox Peak and Ohau with Michelle Freeman, Hayley Knights, Nikki Launder and Kathy Brown.
