The hyper commercial world of professional freeride skiing collides with the purist misanthropic ways of the mountaineer, when the award winning skier and filmmaker Nikolai Schirmer discovers that his reclusive childhood friend is embarking on a ski tour like nothing done before, and that he’s not planning to tell a soul. Nikolai sets out to share his friend’s story with the world, selling it as The Greatest Ski Tour of All Time, while simultaneously attempting to appropriate his snow warrior monk ways of dedicated training to lift his own skiing to new heights. Nikolai quickly learns it’s easier to sell a story than to live through it though. Information Source: Luke Clement Arctic Valley Ski Team | eventbrite
