It’s not often an athlete hits the top level in two fields. But David Wise, a Gold Medal Olympic skier and First Lite Pro Team athlete, makes it work.

Wise is currently at the peak of his skiing career in the halfpipe, with the 2021 X Games underfoot and an upcoming Olympic showing in 2022. He currently holds two Olympic golds and four X Games golds. And it’s not unusual to see him wearing First Lite camo on the slopes. (And from a gear junkie’s perspective, the David Wise setup is fire. Hey First Lite, where’s our ski set?)

It’s an unusual partnership in a world filled with big-name ski brands. But Wise has been a hunter since he was a kid in Reno, Nev. And the film marks his thoughts on life as a skier, a hunter, and what comes after the world of professional freestyle skiing.

It’s worth a watch.
