Wow, loving this feature length documentary exploring the ins and outs of the many chairlifts at Canada’s iconic ski destination Whistler Blackcomb. Hope this inspires other ski resorts to follow suit and profile their own uphill transportation system. This is great:
“There’s a beating heart inside every mountain, and the chairlifts are the arteries that keep it alive – with laughter, friendship, passion, and pure powdery stoke. These complex systems of metal and cable connect us to the land and to each other and the primal magic of speed and adrenaline and dancing with gravity in the most beautiful playground on the planet. In Fixed Grip, Whistler Blackcomb’s latest ski documentary, the chairs are the stories; the anticipation, the excitement, the comradery, the relationships, and ultimately the access. From peak chair to après, the adventure starts and ends at the base.”
