About this movie

Hunter Wood has quietly become one of the best big mountain skiers in the world, but one mountain has loomed over everything he’ has ever done: "The Grand." With towering, icy cliffs and avalanche prone slopes, it is the pinnacle achievement of big mountain skiing. After fifteen years of skiing in its shadow and under pressure to get on with his life, Hunter decides it’s time to test his limits on this, one of North America’s most dangerous peaks. One Mountain is the heartfelt story of a skier, Hunter Wood, struggling to do what he truly loves against societal pressures telling him what he should be doing. Set in the high mountains, the film captures this magical landscape with spectacular cinematography. Using super 16 film and Sony F900HD video cameras, the photographers worked more than 250 days over four and a half years. They captured epic climbing and skiing, breathtaking aerials, and artistic time lapses to create a visual masterpiece that tells the tale of one skier, and one mountain.
