Ski touring in the great mountains of the West is exhilarating, exciting and time-sensitive with intense moments with our expedition companions. But there are also the stories of those who left without ever returning to base camp. In this poignant film, the stories follow one another, from the first pioneers to today’s enthusiasts. Women and men who tell of their dramas, their wounds, their mourning, but who today find more than ever the meaning of their life thanks to the mountain.
