#FILM: Taranaki

Taranaki

Picture a terrifyingly steep, snow-covered mountain chute land mined with cliffs, trees and hidden drop-offs. This is the sort of terrain Janina Kuzma navigates for a living.

Kuzma represents New Zealand in free skiing at the Winter Olympics and is a 7 time New Zealand Big Mountain Champion, 2 time Canadian Freeski Champion, 2 time World Heli Challenge Champion and has also achieved second overall in the world for halfpipe.

This film follows Janina, Australian Olympic skier Anna Segal and Swedish freeskier Evelina Nillson on a journey to climb and ski New Zealand’s largest volcano, Mt Taranaki.

It celebrates the spirt of adventure and comradery we enjoy in the outdoors.

The film was a finalist at the NZ Mountain Film Festival 2018.
