The Minarets of New Zealand are nothing to take lightly. Due to the ruggedness of these mountains, substantial snowfall is essential to capture the optimal riding experience. Fortunately for Antti Autti and Enni Rukajärvi, the conditions were prime and allowed for some of the most epic riding of the year.

From Antti Autti:

¨Standing on top of the line felt almost like I was about drop into a contest run. You go through so many things in your head but once it’s time to drop in you just put those thoughts aside and go for it!¨ – Enni Rukajärvi

Snowboarders Antti Autti & Enni Rukajarvi ride in the Minaret mountains of New Zealand.
