The Spirit

Extreme skiing. It's not a sport. It's a way of life. Travel to mountains around the world and find out what makes extreme skiers tick.

THE SPIRIT is dedicated to Trevor Petersen, an internationally acclaimed extreme skier who died while tackling the French Alps last spring. The SPIRIT explores the history of extreme skiing with rare archival footageof mountain ski celebrities: Patrick Vallencanr, Sylvain Saudan, Pierre Tardivel among others. The SPIRIT educates, entertains and takes your breath away with spectacular footage from Alaska, Greenland, the French Alps, Whistler/Blackcomb and Costa Rica. The diversified soundtrack of the film ranges from rock, reagge, to spiritual and classical music.

Other characters introduced in THE SPIRIT are three young men from British Columbia, Canada, who lead an alternative lifestyle in the mountains. Two of them have, for the first time ever, climbed and skied the north face of Mt. Robson (the "monarch of the Canadian Rockies"), a very respected mountaineering feat.
