Laura invites us behind the scenes of the snowsport industry as she works to establish better gender equality in a male-dominated space. Alongside her own mental health journey, we hear how Laura has begun weaving her Māori whakapapa with her life on the slopes. Laura reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit.
