Fraser McDougall is one of the hardest working skiers always out chasing the shot both on the front of the hill and in the backcountry. Pictures of Fraser throwing massive backflips have adorned not only the pages of New Zealand Skier magazine but publications around the world since he was a teenager.

Music - running the tunes when I'm out skiing all day.
15. Quali sono le 3 cose che dobbiamo sapere di te?

Breaking my jaw into 3 pieces after a 50 foot backflip in Verbier - superman no more.

Instagram

Finish my powered pilots licence then fly the length of New Zealand and line up some first descents.
19. Come sei stato coinvolto nello sci touring?
I did an avalanche awareness course, read up on the subject then started day trips from my local resort with some more experienced guys. Later, on the bigger paid trips I wouldn't let the guide rest on our days off - I'd just pestered the hell out of him
20. Quali sono i tuoi skitours preferiti?
Climbing and skiing Mount Aspiring with a few friends - no camera man, and no photographer - its was hard work but allot fun.
21. Cosa c'è nel tuo zaino quando esci in escursione?
Lollies, scroggin nut mix, spare TNF puffer jacket, spare goggles (always), spare gloves, avy-gear, and first aid.
