Peak Performance: Light in the shadows
Light in the Shadows features Hedvig Wessel and Henrik Windstedt in Haines, Alaska, as they share how Matilda Rapaport was a huge inspiration for them. For Hedvig, Matilda was the light and the fire, she was her biggest inspiration and one of the main reasons for Hedvig stepping into freeride. For Henrik, Matilda was the friend with the extreme energy and love for the mountains, always taking care of the people around her.
Light in the Shadows showcases beautiful skiing in Alaska, as it explains the importance of teamwork and trust, and having role models to seek inspiration and guidance.
