A short film created for The North Face in collaboration with The Mountain Foundry,
featuring The North Face athlete Mike Arnold.
Screened at Kendal Mountain Festival 2022

‘Mike Arnold grew up ski racing in Maine, discovered backcountry in Colorado and now works as a professional mountain guide in Italy’s Aosta Valley. Surrounded by 4,000-metre alpine peaks, his adopted home is the historical home of ski mountaineering. In this tight-knit local community, guides have always been highly respected. But they face high risks, too.’
