Me

I’m Maria Kuzma and I snowboard. It’s so cool that you can ride down a hill and do ollies and tricks off stuff – I love it.

I live in New Zealand and travel between Auckland and Wanaka, and in the NZ summer I’m snowboarding in Europe. I grew up riding Fernie, BC in Canada – my favourite mountain in the world!
