Fickle Business – A Film About Skiing in New Zealand Featuring Ben Richards and Ben Barclay

Mountainwatch |Video

With its ever-changing snow and weather conditions, winter in New Zealand is often described as a roller coaster. Forecasts call for a snow dump that then turns to rain, ski fields are accessed by treacherous 4WD tracks, and plans change by the minute. Skiing in New Zealand is a real “Fickle Business”.

The film follows Ben Richards and Ben Barclay as they set out to make the most of their homeland’s snow season. The good old kiwi spirit thrives in challenging times and not taking it too seriously. ‘Fickle Business’ captures the hunt for a classic kiwi winter and the trials and tribulations of making a career in free-skiing at the bottom of the world.
