The Pursuit

In the Southern Hemisphere winter of 2021, Janina Kuzma set out with a goal to summit Mt Tasman and ski down the committing descent of the Stevenson-Dick Couloir, with Sam Smoothy by her side for the journey. The Pursuit explores the tremendous upskilling, mental and physical preparation required for a mission of this calibre, and follows the two on the challenging climb and gruelling descent down New Zealand’s second highest peak.

The Pursuit is part of the series ‘A Winter Affair’ — a collection of ski films exploring far reaching places for unexpected ski lines, developed by team skier Janina Kuzma.
