Solitude – taken or forced - is a great opportunity for self-reflection.
During a ski touring mission in Swedish Lapland, located roughly 250km within the Arctic Circle where the midnight sun this time of the year turns the mountains into blank golden canvases, freeskier and entrepreneur Sandra Lahnsteiner, inspired by the world famous ‘Golden Circle Concept’ connects to her inner self, indulging into what she loves the most. Skiing. But why?
A big part of her motivation is of course deeply rooted in her passion for skiing.
But what actually drives her and why is she as passionate about skiing and being outdoors as working on new concepts on the computer?
With the short film #shadesofwinter GOLDEN Sandra hopes to connect with the viewer on a deeper level and with a broader community, not only with people who like her for her skiing but because why she does the things she does.
Sandra wants to inspire people within and outside the ski industry.
