The southern hemi is firing up, and boarders are getting stoked for the beginning of the season. That feeling you get when you’re back on the slopes for the first time for the season is irreplaceable. In this video, Queenstown in New Zealand is already covered in fresh powder ready to be shred.

This crew each has their own reasons they’re stoked to be back on the mountain:
“Going upside down again!” – Stef Zeestraten
“Just being back up there, and remembering why you do it.” – Nick Brown
“Reuniting with shred crew and amping for the things to come!” – Connor Harding
“Just knowing the next four months are going to be awesome.” – Nick Hyne

What about the first of the season gets you fired up?
