The Approach - (ft. Sofia Jaramillo, Ingrid Backstrom, Brooklyn Bell + More)

The approach to any backcountry line is often one of the most challenging parts of an adventure but the tracks we each leave behind are a personal expression of our skills and collective accomplishments. If you're looking for an action packed ski and snowboard film,  this short elevates people of color, women and adaptive athletes.
