Highest hopes that the fire in the port hills doesn't touch the Christchurch adventure park and RIP to the helicopter pilot who died trying to fight it!

The fire has reached the upper and middle sections of race track now, burning within 30 to 40 m of the lift line (hard to tell from the distance). But 6 or so choppers dropping monsoon buckets every 30 to 60 seconds so I hope they get it under control and it wont flare up again overnight! And yes, so sad that one of them lost his life trying to save others and the park.

All those bone dry, dusty trails in the UK must have been the perfect training ground for Bernard

He did well in the dust at Val Di Sole last year also, big things to come for Bernard this year I think.

Burm exploding erosion. I've been to ski fields in the winter with less powder than that. Nice vid!
