The North Face: Dear Superhero
For nearly two years, professional skier Janina Kuzma struggled to get pregnant—a journey that tested her relationship with control, her body, and her mind. Then, in early 2024, the moment arrived: a positive pregnancy test, but with it came a new question: how would pregnancy change her life in the mountains?
Wrestling with the fear of losing her job as a pregnant mountain guide or being judged as a professional athlete, Janina still finds peace in the mountains. Joined by The North Face snowboarder Leanne Pelosi and professional skier Evelina Nilsson, Janina ventures deep into New Zealand’s Southern Alps to discover the superhuman powers of motherhood.
