Fifty kilometers north of Mont-Tremblant, hidden deep within Quebec's western Laurentian Mountains, lies one of Eastern Canada's best-kept backcountry skiing destinations.
Centered around an off-grid cabin, the experience is a return to skiing's roots. Days begin before sunrise with coffee around the stove before setting out to earn every descent. It's a place where the journey matters as much as the skiing itself, and where the sense of community and friendship is as rewarding as the turns. Combined with a unique microclimate that consistently delivers cold, dry Quebec powder when surrounding regions often miss out, the area has become a hidden gem for those willing to venture beyond the boundaries of traditional ski resorts.
North of Somewhere follows Blizzard-Tecnica athletes Phil Langevin and Thom Peiffer as they immerse themselves in this journey. The story shows the discovery of new landscapes for Thom and a challenging new terrain for Phil. It's together that they'll fully live the experience.
While the setting feels remote and untouched, this isn't an unattainable expedition reserved for elite athletes. It's a destination that passionate skiers can experience for themselves — a reminder that adventure still exists within reach for those willing to leave the beaten path behind. The film invites viewers not only to witness exceptional skiing, but to imagine themselves making the same journey.
