The Shadow Campaign // Sanctuary

Heavy sun and low snow has left Valle Nevado ski area reduced to bare rock, a lost season. Lifts shut down and skiers flee towards Santiago in droves. Hot tubs and pisco prevail for the DPS crew. But one morning they awake to find condors filling the sky–scavenging to prepare for an oncoming storm. While the resort hunkers down and weathers the whiteout, they disappear into clouds that boil with a meter of snow. The desert becomes an ethereal sanctuary, dissolving into the sky.
The Shadow Campaign: 4 Short Films, Coming Fall 2014.
Valle Nevado – Mt. Baker – Refugio Frey – Baldface.

“A day out” – Japan

A Day Out – Japan

from Nikolai Schirmer

We teamed up with Andreas Wiig to visit our Japanese friend Yuta Watanbe on the other side of the world. Our main goal for the trip was to ride as much powder as possible, a plan that turned out to be pretty easily conducted.
