RED Program

Rogue Elements: Corbet’s Couloir

Anyone who has ever skied or snowboarded Jackson Hole knows just how nerve-racking it can be to send it into the infamous Corbet's Couloir, even in the best of conditions.

The Ario dream (Edit)

This is a gripping account of expedition-style cave exploration and at the apex are the cave divers, pushing into the unknown in deep sumps where rescue is not an option. The tension, as each diver disappears into the blackness, is genuine…

Surviving the outback (Edit)

Could you survive alone across hundreds of kilometres of remote outback for a whole month, trekking and sailing on a makeshift raft, with nothing but a time capsule of antique stuff from 1932? Mike wasn’t sure he could pull it off either!

RJ Ripper

The chaotic streets of Kathmandu may not seem like a typical breeding ground for world-class mountain bikers, but then again nothing is typical about Rajesh (RJ) Magar and his beat-up clunker.

Liv along the way

Ever since she first summited Mont Blanc as a teen, Liv Sansoz knew she would make her life in the mountains.

Fast horse

Fast horse follows the return of the Blackfoot bareback horseracing tradition in a new form: the Indian Relay.

For the love of Mary

Skier vs. Drone

It's the classic battle of man vs. machine but Olympic Bronze Medalist ski racer, Victor Muffat-Jeandet isn't worried.

BLUE Program

Far Out: Kai Jones

Eleven year old Kai Jones isn’t old enough to go to the movies alone or order a sandwich at the pub, but in the mountains age doesn’t matter. He is following in his family’s ski tracks… right into backflips and tricks off of cliffs

Surface

In a photographic niche defined by familiar angles, Ben Thouard is driven by his desire to create something original in surf photography.

This mountain life: Coast range traverse segment

Ice & Palms

Bikepacking, summiting mountains and skiing some iconic lines along the way, friends Max and Jochen have one dream – 5 weeks, 1,800 km and 35,000 vertical metres self-propelled across the Alps.

Choices

A mountain biker has an amazing menu of rides to choose from but which will he pick?

The moment (Edit)

In the backwoods of British Columbia, three small but dedicated crews of adventure seekers were quietly changing the course of a sport and carving theirpaths in history. The Moment captures the birth and success of the original free ride mountain bike movement.
