It’s hard to turn away from this riveting edit about a sisterhood of passionate skiers.

Once I started watching “How Did We Get Here?” I just couldn’t stop. And it’s not just the world-class editing, cinematography, and sound design I’ve come to expect from The North Face. It’s about the contagious joy of the three women at the center of it.
