Free Rider

Sam Anthamatten and Victor De Le Rue explore the wildest corner of Alaska, in search of the craziest spine walls to ski and snowboard. A bush pilot drops the small crew of 5 on a remote, unexplored glacier to establish a base camp. They attempt to conquer the spine walls by foot, in a series of ascents each time always more commited. Narrator Jérôme Tanon explains from up close and personal, with honesty and a touch of sarcasm what exactly is going on here. The film is aiming to get the viewer to feel -as if you were in their shoes- what it’s really like to surf such mountains; to understand what so called “free riders” are made of, and what could be the purpose and the beauty of “freeriding”.
