Synopsis
catching up with crusty locals in the Wasatch and more. Our interest lies in finding people with real stories and ski objectives. We wanted to tag along and capture their actions and motivation for heading into the mountains, creating more of an authentic experience. We traveled light and moved fast to avoid interfering with the actual adventures as they unfolded.
Despite the underwhelming winter of 2011-12, in which snowfall reached near record lows
and unstable avalanche conditions,the Powderwhores were able to make the most of the
conditions at home and abroad, with trips to Cerro Castillo, Chile; La Grave, France; the
Antarctic Peninsula; Svalbard, Norway; Mount Foraker, Alaska; British Columbia, Canada,
and the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. The film features an array of characters from salty backcountry veterans to some of the top
skiers and snowboarders.
