Matty Graham my s&c at HPSNZ made a pretty epic doco with some classic kiwi humour as he competed in the coast to coast in gear from the 80’s and interviewed the OG’s. I got the pleasure of watching the premier at the NZ Mountain Film Festival earlier this year & now its available to watch online!
A few weeks ago Sacha from Seven Sharp came to see what the adaptive programme at Cardrona is all about & have a go in a bi-ski

“Most of the time, I don’t feel disabled, I forget that I’m disabled until… someone says something to you, something quite negative, or the physical barriers that you face - that’s when you feel disabled.”
