Cody Townsend
Ski
Den internasjonalt anerkjente skikjøreren og filmskaperen Nikolai Schirmer oppdager at hans tilbaketrukne barndomsvenn trener til en skitur utenom det vanlige: Vegard Rye trener for å bestige og kjøre ski ned 27 fjell i én sammenhengende topptur. Turen tilsvarer å løpe fire maraton, samtidig som man bestiger Mount Everest fra havnivå – tre ganger. For å kunne gjennomføre denne umenneskelige prestasjonen isolerer Vegard seg fra venner og familie, bor i huler, og dedikerer hele sin tilværelse til trening. I årevis bærer han tunge bører opp det samme fjellet flere ganger om dagen. Vegard har ingen planer om å fortelle en sjel om bragden, men Nikolai ønsker å dele vennens historie med verden, og selge den til sponsorene sine som «The Greatest Ski Tour Of All Time». Nikolai forsøker samtidig å tilegne seg vennens treningsmetoder, for å løfte sin egen skikjøring til nye høyder. Nikolai innser imidlertid raskt at det er lettere å fortelle en historie enn å leve gjennom den. Samtidig henger det store spørsmålet over ham: Hvorfor mistet han sin beste venn og fjellpartner for så mange år siden?

Such Is Life
It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate around its axis, 7 rotations in a week, and 365 spins to make a ski film. The making of a ski film is not a hobby for Rage Films, but a way of life. Their talented group of athletes train year round, works odd jobs, and dream throughout the off season of what the upcoming season will bring. The filming season begins at the first sighting of snowflakes in November and comes to conclusion with the summer heat waves mid June. In 2008, Rage Films witnessed an unbelievable year that was unsurpassed by others as Rage won award after award, including Best Core Film at X-Dance and Best Film at IF3. Epic amounts of snow yielded huge jumps, gnarly lines and exploratory trips around the world. Athletes threw tricks they have never done before, break through performances were caught on film, and some just learned how to travel with dependents, even if it was a ferret, but most importantly, the ante was upped for progressive skiing and cinematography. This is a reflection on the dedication, perseverance, loyalty, and excitement the crew works for all year. Such is our lives. Such is life.
