Mark Whetu

A bored Colorado ski patrolman comes to New Zealand for the winter season. In between skiing on various North and South Island fields and preparing for the "Ironman' endurance contest, he has a good time with the people he meets. Billy T. James features briefly as an entertainer cum 'fright-a-minute'- aviator. This is a hybrid genre, a semi-dramatized documentary with champion skiers playing themselves.

Le 15 mai 2006, Mark Inglis, double amputé, atteint le sommet de l'Everest. Ce fut une réussite remarquable et Inglis fut salué tant par la presse que par le public.
