Tara and Naomi set off on a 46 day journey across the NZ North and South Islands to visit every ski field while bikepacking. The duo, @pedals2powder both loved and enjoyed skiing, yet the bikepacking and logistics of planning a 7 week adventure was a new challenge. Tara and Naomi share about their favourite club fields, including Mt Olympus, Fox Peak, Awakino, Broken River and Craggy Burn. Winter presented challenges due to short days, unpredictable weather and cold temperatures, but the pair enjoyed so many memorable moments, including finishing the journey at Treble Cone with over 100 other skiers-cyclists! They say, "if you have an idea, you're the only one getting in the way... so just do it!" A documentary of their epic journey will be featured at various film festivals in 2025.
