Suspended between the weight of silence and the explosion that precedes the action, the countdown in the starting cabin is a decisive moment where each skier faces himself and the track. A unique moment of absolute intensity, where stress, envy and excitement merge into one and same emotion that our Heroes, just medalists in South Korea, tell us at the time of the last start of an exceptional season.
“Its a strangely warm evening in October and we find ourselves parked up just outside of Llanberris in the Snowdonia national park, with a last minute plan to summit Snowdon for Sunrise. With the weather looking prime and the sky revealing spectacular stars, we got a few hours sleep before the 4am start.
Llanbberis path, our chosen route to ascend the mountain before we rode back down the Rydu Path. The first kilometre is very steep and exposed along a knife-edge ridge, before it settles into a steep, rocky but mostly rideable trail to the valley floor.” – TOM GRICE
What an epic event. A big south swell made for some truly hollow barrels. Great weather, great people! Mostly day 2 footage. Austin Keen, Sam Stinnett, Lucas Fink, Yahir Valencia and more.
