A team of six skiers, five New Zealanders and an American, return to New Zealand to demonstrate a new form of skiing which has extended the sport to its exuberant limits - Freestlyle. The three basic Freestyle skills; Ballet, Jumping and Moguls are shown in the North and South Island skifields. The film culminates in a skier’s dream - to ski the untracked slopes of a live volcano. Directed by Sam Neil.
