The title of The North Face’s new ride film pretty much says it all. “Giant Beasts, Tiny People” is about scale — that feeling you get when you’re out in the wild, and you look around and realize what a tiny little speck you are compared to the colossal majesty surrounding you.

Now, take that feeling and transplant it into the hearts and minds of Mary Rand and Taylor Godber. Dropped by The North Face onto some of the biggest lines Alaska has to offer, the two women have to master their sense of tinyness to send full throttle.

Spoiler alert — they do.

Runtime: 20 minutes (Live premiere today)
