The story of five skiers, sponsored by K2, who tour the U.S. in a red, white and blue van that matched their skis. They travel like a pack of joyful wolves, devouring powder and looking for challenges. Just 26 minutes in length, the film offers ferocious detail, with ski footage that still holds up today. The film revealed the ski culture as a surrogate family. In an interview years later, skier Charlie McWilliams recalled how people came up to him to explain how they deeply identified with this happygo- lucky skiing clan. He saw the film as a groundbreaking portrayal of skiing as a tribal experience. “It was the first time anybody had gone out and made a film of a group of guys traveling around the country having a great time skiing.”

These are four people doing every day what others work fifty weeks of the year to buy for two weeks. They were also becoming a vanishing breed who were becoming unwelcome from Aspen to Val d'Isere.

En 1971, cuatro estudiantes universitarios se unieron para formar una banda de rock. Desde entonces, esa cierta banda llamada Queen ha lanzado 26 álbumes y vendido más de 300 millones de discos en todo el mundo. La popularidad de Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor y John Deacon es más fuerte que nunca 40 años después. Pero no era un lecho de rosas. Sin crucero de placer.
