THE NEW ZEALAND VIDEO SNOWGUIDE is a DVD directed by Julien Roland & Hugo Bachelet, two snow-addicts and filmmakers from France. Together, they spent a season in NZ and explored all the ski areas of the country to deliver this new video snowguide DVD concept.

"Guide books are a great invention, but there is always too much information to digest, it's not very entertaining to read, and at the end you still don't really know what to expect from the place you're about to pay loads of money to travel to...

So one day we came up with this idea :
"Wouldn't it be great to be able to inspect every ski area of a country on film, to easily pick up the place that suits the most a particular aspect of skiing/snowboarding?"

With videos and interviews we managed to bring a new dimension to guiding products : the viewer can now feel the atmosphere of the place, meet the staff, check out the facilities, have a few runs throughout the terrain... You can even have a look to what's on the menu at the café!"

The DVD is produced by COUAC, a French production company specialized in short films, music videos and live events.
