Hi it's Dania here! Just in NZ right now hangin out in a pretty Hood house in Wanaka! I am staying with all the Canadians, so I feel right at home! Wanaka is so great, a beautiful little town right on the South Island of NZ. The town surrounds a lake, and you can see mountains where ever you look. Those that live here must wake up everyday and think they are the luckiest people on the planet! You really realize that the world is a beautiful place when you live somewhere so pure and natural :)

It is winter again, and there has been three days of competition in about 5 days... So, wild ride but they have been going really well! Two slope contests and one pipe. Three different mountains all offering a little somethin different... Snowpark is real fun, good rails and jumps, Remarkables was in Queenstown, where the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen took place, and my favorite resort so far, Cardrona, has a perfect pipe and really fun jumps.

Here are some pictures from sunrise, mountains views, and skiing! Enjoy and I will make sure to keep up with the blog and share more from down unda!

MODAN summer in the SLC

As we all know two of our girls, Anna and Dania have traveled off for the summer to ski and play in beautiful Hood River, OR skiing, hitting up the coast and keeping the boys in line. However the rest of us not as fortunate have been holding it down in the SLC. It has been quite the hot summer but in between our efforts to roll in a little bit of money we have discovered some pretty cool activities to keep ourselves cool and entertained. Between Weber float adventures (and injuries), echo cliff jumping, Gallivan Twilight series and Cottonwood Heights pool, shooting the tube, parties and summer time cookouts many stories are to be told! Molly is off to hood today to meet up with the girls  to try and get in some late summer skiing in the 102 degree heat and maybe hit up the beach with some long lost friends! I recently started working for Saga Outerwear as their intern and they have been a blast to work with. They are an amazing group of people with a lot of passion and hard work in their company. The designs these guys throw out on a day to day basis is astounding if you get the chance check out their blog www.sagaouterwear.com and their twitter they update a lot more often and have some funny stories and links to keep you entertained. Here are some pictures of our adventures.
