From this conversation, I gather that Chad seems to be in a constant search… maybe a struggle for balance in his life. He talks about the many goals and...

In this episode we continue to highlight New Zealand Club Field ski culture. I've decided to zero in on one club in particular; Temple Basin. Back in 2003, I spent a season working there and its one of those places I needed to return. Temple Basin is really unique, not only in the way it operates but also for its unreal terrain. We timed our arrival perfectly and for the next 3 days we got to ski the best snow of the season. While I was there I spoke to the people that live, work and ski at Temp...

What's a Club Field? The Club Fields or Clubbies, as they are affectionately called, are small, non profit sk...
