Arcteryx Presents: The Pass Arcteryx 2024-01-15 | In Rogers Pass, the Trans-Canada Highway and Canadian Pacific Railway wind underneath 134 avalanche paths that release 2,000 avalanche events each winter, controlled by military artillery, helicopters, and remote control systems. It was off-limits to ski touring for decades. Then a surprising player stepped up to help mastermind the Pass’s modern winter permit system that’s designed to keep skiers safe from Howitzers and controlled avalanches. In this 12-minute film, we meet Sylvia Forest (63), a woman who rose to leadership in the rugged worlds of mountain rescue, guiding, and avalanche safety before equal representation was a blip on the radar, and one of the architects of the permit system in 1995. In turn, she mentored Danyelle Magnan, who recently became–after her own formidable experience in remote backcountry rescue and ski guiding–the first woman on the elite Rogers Pass avalanche forecasting team that’s responsible for thousands of lives on a daily basis. The duo reunite in the Pass for their first ski tour together after ten years, to reflect on their journeys in the face of high-risk elements, immense pressure, and long-established cultural norms. In quietly and impressively showing what’s possible, these two women represent a small but pivotal part of the seismic shift happening to the face of mountain culture.LIST OF TALENT:Name: Danyellye Magnan Role: Avalanche Operations Officer, Parks CanadaTown: Revelstoke, BCName: Sylvia ForestRole: Visitor Safety Manager, Parks Canada (2005-2013)ACMG/IFMGA Mountain GuideTown: Golden BCLOCATION INFORMATIONGlacier National ParkRevelstoke, BCGolden, BCFilmed on location with permission of Parks Canada and the Canadian Armed Forces, in Glacier National ParkDrone/UAV shots used in this film were taken from outside the park boundary and/or in compliance with the Parks Canada Agency UAV rules and regulations.

Faced with a DIY endurance project less than 5 people have completed, they explore their relationship with hardship and suffering in real-time.Winding a network of trails and hitting the halfway point at a 14k foot peak, their journey takes them from their front door through iconic locations outside of Boulder, Colorado.To and From is a story steeped in regional history as experienced by two athletes learning about the impact of their own life events as they attempt their unique project.Director: Josiah Jones - Outland FilmProducer: Malcolm Pascotti - Can’t Buy Cool StudiosCinematography: Josiah Jones, Ian Glass, Levi Smith, Justin SwantekPhotography: Josh Pruitt

The gorgeous mountain looms high above Pemberton and is home to many stories of skiers and snowboarders pushing themselves on the classic lines of its Northwest Face.

Close-Up w/ Sandy Ward Arcteryx 2023-09-27 | Sandy Ward, or Kelkeláokik in her traditional language of Ucwalmícwts from the Líl’wat nation, was an inaugural member of the First Nations Snowboard Team, riding in halfpipe competitions across the globe. Now a snowboard, mountain bike, and climbing coach, she’s passing on what she's learned from her time in the mountains. Connecting as many people as possible to the outdoors through her community groups, Indigenous Life Sport Academy and Indigenous Women Outdoors, is her passion. “I don’t want to be known as the snowboarder in my nation. I want all the kids to be known as the snowboarders, mountain bikers or climbers. It’s not just one person, we’re doing this as a community.”Get Close-Up with snowboarder, mountain biker, community connector, and Arc'teryx ambassador Sandy Ward | Kelkeláokik.
Arcteryx Presents: Wet Lycra Nightmare Arcteryx 2023-09-18 | When Jordan Cannon fell near the end of a 5.13 pitch on Wet Lycra Nightmare (5.13d), the steepest big wall in the Yosemite Valley, he didn’t give up. At least not on his climbing partner, Sam Stroh. Moving slowly upwards the duo gave it their all, and the sun-baked day ended with Stroh becoming the 5th person to ever climb the elusive wall. Next, it was Jordan’s turn to do it in his own style, free-climbing the iconic route over two days.Featuring: Jordan Cannon, Sam Stroh, Alex HonnoldDirector: Samuel CrossleyFilmed & Produced by: Samuel Crossley, Max BuschiniEdited By: Samuel Crossley, Max BuschiniArchival Photographers: Austin Siadak, Owen Bissell, Bill Hatcher, Chris Noble Colored By: John Crossley
