True life adventure in the Southern Alps. Wherever there's a mountain resort you'll find them. The crazies. For these young people excitement is the drug. It pushes them to the limit of their skill and courage. It compels them to seek out the challenges of the unknown, wherever it may take them. For matt a young ski-patroller from Colorado, the challenge is New Zealand. Uncrowded, undiscovered and a million miles away from the late snow, trees, and broken legs of his Telluride home base. Though he has heard stories of the "Kiwi Cowboys" who ski 'active' volcanoes, Matt is still surprised by the Kiwi animal.
