You see them working at every ski area, dutifully helping injured skiers, marking obstacles and generally keeping the mountain safe. This movie, now available for streaming, is a window into their lives.
Snow Guardians is a beautifully filmed documentary about the life and work of Ski Patrol at several Montana Ski Resorts and the Search and Rescue teams that respond to winter emergencies in the backcountry.
Can you use a probe, pole and beacon to save your friend? How much training has your backcountry partner had? The film is filled with expert advice that can save you during an avalanche or backcounty emergency.
The movie is a sponsored by apparel manufacturer Arc’teryx and produced by F9 Photo.
