Largely crowdfunded, the movie is shot in and around Laurent DeMartin’s home region, Dents Du Midi.
Designed to be a celebration of Swiss skiing, it aims to show what the region has to offer.
Except that they shot it in a seriously trying winter, which made the task even harder.
I know, because I was there.
That makes the half-hour runtime and the quality of snow they found throughout all the more impressive.
Things kick off with an ‘urban’ segment.
Except that it isn’t urban at all.
All the spots are found in the valleys and villages surrounding Laurent’s home.
That lends this segment a unique flavor, with street style spots set to a mountain background.
Remco hitting some Swiss ‘street’.
Here, Lucas Wachs joins Laurent, along with snowboarder Mathieu Schaer.
They managed to find some pretty epic looking snow somewhere though, and I’m not entirely sure how.
Here again, having bossed the street part, he throws down in the backcountry too.
His ability to go unreasonably deep on landings always surprises me despite knowing it’s coming.
Any time you get to see him ski is a treat and this is no exception.
Lucas doing what he does best, halfway around the world from home.
The filming and editing are beautiful and classic throughout.
Clean shots, great music that matches the skiing… what more can you ask for?
Tune in tomorrow (11/24) to check it out for 24hrs only, exclusively here on Newschoolers.
