Director: Philip Forsey

NATIONAL PREMIERE

Two of the world's most accomplished ski mountaineers, Christina Lustenberger and Guillaume Pierrel, set their sights on the highest and most formidable peak in the Canadian Rockies in February 2025: Mount Robson. They were the first to ski down the Great Couloir on the South Face. The film documenting that feat now becomes a tribute to Guillaume 'Gee' Pierrel, who passed away on June 24, 2026, during an attempt to climb and ski K6 in Pakistan.
