Freeskiing Rocky Mountains

A four part series following two freeride skiers, Nick Draxl (Australia) and Benjamin Rudolph (Denmark) from north to south in the Rocky Mountains. It is a the trip of a lifetime, covering more than 6,000 kilometres, stretching from British Columbia in Canada to one of the most Southern ski resorts in the USA.

Full of humour and adventure the two are constantly looking for the ultimate experience, which includes going off-piste skiing and trying their hand at skidooing. They also participate in US Freeskiing Championships in Big Mountain and see one of the biggest events in extreme sports, the Winter X-Games.

The series finishes with trips to a range of incredible locations as Benjamin and Nick are invited to Crested Butte in Colorado by Wendy Fischer, two time Extreme Skiing world champion. Then it's on to Telluride, an old mining town, where the boys go on a photo shoot for Salomon Skis. Lastly they end up skiing with a Native American in the White Apaché owned Arizonian ski resort, Sunrise.
