Two women sit by the lake that raised them and have a conversation about what it means to be a freeride skier. After dedicating their lives to the sport, they question the meaning of it all. This film follows their journey rediscovering the joy in an innately creative, spiritual sport. More than anything, “ripple” is a story about surrendering to the present moment. A story about being water.
