Nick Brown makes it his third cover, and second one for the year! Joel Westcot tells us to “Hate It or Love It”, and “Go To…” checks out Porter Heights. Multi-talented Abby Lockhart scores her long-overdue “Interview”. The “Gallery” is all ’06 images, with shots of Fiona Duncan, Tim Jackways, Ryan Bluett, Murray Hodgeson, Tom Dillon, Heath Patterson, Ferret, Hayley Holt, Chance Gensen, Crispin Lipscomb and Brad Martin doubling up in the pipe, Matt Smith, Will Jackways, and Tim Watson. “Southern Alpine Sleds” looks at the snowmobiling operation Queenstown local Lance Watson has set up in the Hector Ranges near Kingston. “The Burton NZ Open” gets bigger every year, followed by a profile on Frank Wells who does all the shaping at Snow Park. Ross Guthrie recounts a near-death avalanche experience in “No Limits”, and “Fast Forward” wraps it up with Ben Simmen, Femke Henriques-Hilbink, and Connor Harding.
