A winter odyssey from Norway’s most northern waters. After ten years of hunting snow abroad in the southern countries, the pandemic has forced the aging free riders Krister Kopala, Merrick Mordal and Nikolai Schirmer to explore the mountain ranges closer to home. Aboard the ship of the eccentric Captain Crocs they look north towards the dark towing rock spires of Kvænangstindan, where Nikolai seems to remember he saw a skiable line over a decade ago. On the voyage of the winter the crew is forced to face the question of when have you pushed it so far over the edge that you may never sail back home? While they face narrow couloirs, deep snow in a treacherous snowpack, the creatures of the deep and the storm of the decade.
