With so much uncertainty and ever-changing snow and weather conditions, when it comes to winter in New Zealand, it\u2019s easy to say it\u2019s a roller coaster. Whether it be forecasts saying it\u2019s going to dump snow, which then turns to rain, or the treacherous 4WD tracks to get to the ski fields, skiing in New Zealand is a real \u201cFickle Business\u201d. The film follows Ben Richards and Ben Barclay as they set out to try to make the most of their homeland’s snow season. The good old kiwi spirit prevailing in challenging times, and not
taking it too seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
