This movie is such a mixed bag of characters, exotic locations and action. You really can't guess what's coming next in this film. We're exploring an abandoned mining town in the Arctic, dropping cliffs with Hugo Harrison in British Columbia, plunging into the Antarctic Sea in speedos, blasting through deep powder,catching up with crusty locals in the Wasatch and more. Our interest lies in finding people with real stories and ski objectives. We wanted to tag along and capture their actions and motivation for heading into the mountains, creating more of an authentic experience. We traveled light and moved fast to avoid interfering with the actual adventures as they unfolded.Despite the underwhelming winter of 2011-12, in which snowfall reached near record lowsand unstable avalanche conditions,the Powderwhores were able to make the most of theconditions at home and abroad, with trips to Cerro Castillo, Chile; La Grave, France; theAntarctic Peninsula; Svalbard, Norway; Mount Foraker, Alaska; British Columbia, Canada,and the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. The film features an array of characters from salty backcountry veterans to some of the topskiers and snowboarders.
