Darren headed across the Tasman last week for a snowboarding fix through some of the resorts in the south island of NZ. Despite not having the greatest season to date, there was still plenty of fresh lines and hits to be had.





A nice little video here that's got us dreaming of heading back to Whistler Blackcomb next season
A little different to the facilities we tend to experience on our boarding trips - checkout 'WhitePod':
- Swiss Alps
- 1400 - 1700m altitude
- 15 private geodesic dome pods
- 7km of ski area with private lifts





Tusk had the privilege of been invited to attend the 10th Anniversary and resigning of the Dubai - Gold Coast Sister City Agreement yesterday. The agreement was signed between Dale DIckson, CEO of the Gold Coast City Council, and Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of the Dubai Municipality. The event included a comprehensive tour of Dubai Municipality Headquarters and a traditional lunch aboard a dhow along Dubai Creek. Having worked in the UAE region over the past 2 years Tusk would like to congratulate and thank both the GCCC and Dubai Municipality for their continued support. We look forward to another prosperous 10 years!

Sitting here on this cold and rainy day on the out of character Gold Coast, it's hard not to dream of being somewhere with white sand and clear water. Personally, I would look no further then this beautiful resort situated on the Island of Hadahaa. The Alila Villas Hadahaa Resort is a perfect mix of breath taking scenery, contemporary architecture and innovative interior design. This looks like the perfect place to unwind and get those creative juices flowing again. I've already put in a word to the boss to have our Christmas party there! You should do the same.
