Did you know that Sweden is a country that doesn't have many couloirs? In fact the mountains here are more round than steep.
In the heart of Storådörrsfjällen in the region Jämtland lies a land of rugged beauty, where the mountains whisper secrets of adventure and challenge. But it’s an unknown area to many. It’s far away. But as soon as you enter the valley, you’ll wonder why you have never been here before.
This is a story about friendship and the unknown couloir Republiken. And being the first woman skiing it.
