Questions & Answers about Я ни разу не ездил на юг зимой.

Why are there two negatives: ни разу and не?

This is normal in Russian. Russian often uses negative concord, where multiple negative words appear together in the same sentence.

• не ездил = did not go / did not travel
• ни разу = not even once

So Я ни разу не ездил... literally feels like:

• I not-even-once did not travel...

but in natural English it means:

• I have never traveled...
• I have not gone even once...

In Russian, ни разу normally goes with a negative verb:

• Я ни разу не был в Москве.
• Он ни разу не звонил.

You generally would not say Я ни разу ездил... without не.
