Ben Barcaly and Ben Richards battle the Fickle Business that is New Zealand powder hunting in this film from Hunter Paull.
Chasing fairytale storms, the Bens navigate sketchy access roads on last minute missions all in search of a good 15 centimeters. Being a freeride skier on the unpredictable, unreliably snowy islands at the arse end of the world is a challenge only the Kiwis seem strong enough to master—making the most of conditions that most Northern Hemisphere softies would describe as dire.
Certainly making conditions look better than they were, the Bens take these challenges head on, with trademark Kiwi positivity—and they reap the rewards.
