Opening weekend at Mt Buller
Rusty team rider Shaun Belmore headed to Mt. Buller in victoria Australia on the weekend to celebrate the opening of the southern hemisphere season.
A great surprise was that there was snow everywhere. usually this weekend you are lucky to see a dusting maybe 1 lift open. Best opening ive seen yet. small rail park and 4 lifts turning.
Great weekend on and off slopes. The pub there always turns it on for this weekend.
check out a couple of photos.

Snowebizode N°2
Here is the 2nd clip of the Rusty Snowebizodes series.
Snow Legend Romain De Marchi hits the coastal mountain in Canada.
Sometimes, average conditions can turn into really good session.
After a trip in Japan with his yes crew Romain gives us a little taste of what backcountry riding is about: finding the spot, building kickers, waiting for the sun to come out, throwing big jumps and what about finishing the session in pillows.
enjoy...
