Journey to the remote backcountry of the Alps.
The industry looks at Sam mainly as “the
teacher.” We will explore this side of Sam while
showcasing another side: the student of new
environments and terrain, and different styles
of skiing. We will celebrate the way Sam takes
enjoyment, both in what he shares and learns.
Co-starring Elisabeth Gerritzen, Martin
Bender, and Yann Rausis.
