Having carved up damn near every piste in the Northern Hemisphere, the Korua crew head down under to bring their signature blend of alpine destruction to Australia. Yearning For Turning Vol.12 follows a path that, by now has been well laid out by the Korua crew. But thanks to the relatability of showcasing the joy of the turn (something we all know and love) along with the signature creativity Korua is known for we continue to get fired up with each new installment.

The first day of qualifiers went off with a bang, with Nora Beck hucking backflips off the purple pole-jam while Mae Morelli landed the first butter-pad-to-down-rail transfer - a line many would chase, some successfully, others with heavy slams... This year's course ditched the hip feature at the bottom. A shame - we'd love to see it return, as it previously gave riders like Annika Morgan and Emma Crosby space to showcase style in the air as well as on steel.

Cracking open our breakfast Easter eggs and discovering they were full of mini-eggs is about as surprising as opening a birthday card from your Grandma and pretending you didn't see the cash inside while you read her best wishes. No, you knew the little sugar coated chocolate goodies were there, you just needed to put up the false air of surprise to comfortably indulge in a chocolatey desert to follow your chocolate breakfast.
