FIELD NOTES captures skiing not as conquest, but as conversation with weather, terrain, and self.
Through storm and stillness, triumph and failure, the film traces the rhythm where struggle becomes expression and play becomes purpose.
Each chapter is a fragment—an unfinished note in the ledger of resilience, patience, and play.
Together, they form a portrait of euphoria: not the reward, but the signal of becoming.
