A new ski film from NS Creative follows freeride skiers Nat Segal and Erin Spong through two winters in the backcountry of British Columbia.
Titled Biscuits, the documentary-style film follows the pair through the Selkirk and Coast mountain ranges as they search for challenging terrain on foot and by helicopter.
But the film is not just about finding bigger lines. According to the filmmakers, Biscuits focuses heavily on progression, mentorship and the mental challenges that come with pushing personal limits in the mountains.
“Like the natural ebbs and flows we all ride in life, a ski season or even a single day in the mountains, the lows are what make the highs feel so damn good,” Spong said. “That is what we wanted to showcase in this film.”
Two Skiers at Different Points in Their Careers
Segal brings nearly two decades of experience in professional freeride skiing to the project.
She entered the ski industry as a competitive freeride athlete 17 years ago before expanding into ski films and filmmaking in the outdoor industry.
Spong took a different path.
Before becoming a professional skier, she worked as an assistant editor at Freeskier Magazine. Biscuits follows her as she gains more experience skiing for backcountry film projects, with Segal serving as both ski partner and mentor.
That difference in experience became a central part of the project.
Segal contributes years of knowledge about filming in technical backcountry terrain, while Spong brings a different perspective to how the pair approaches skiing, risk and progression.
“Progression looks different to everyone, but there’s always something that makes challenging yourself worth it,” Segal said. “However fear and societal pressures to be perfect can greatly limit challenging ourselves. Through this project I wanted to show that teamwork, mentorship and a shared goal can be the antidote.”
Chasing the Good Days
The film moves through some of British Columbia’s most recognizable mountain terrain as Segal and Spong search for the conditions and lines that make ski filmmaking possible.
Those trips include human-powered days as well as helicopter access, but the filmmakers say the story is as much about what happens between successful ski lines as the skiing itself.
As the pair begins pushing into terrain that challenges them physically and mentally, both skiers are forced to examine the fears and expectations that can limit progression.
At the same time, Biscuits appears determined not to take itself too seriously.
The film’s creators describe Segal and Spong as willing to poke fun at themselves throughout the process, balancing the heavier themes of fear, pressure and self-doubt with the simple joy of skiing with a close partner.
That contrast is at the center of the film.
For Segal and Spong, the search for better skiing becomes a larger story about why people continue challenging themselves in the mountains, even when the process does not always go according to plan.
Following the world premiere on September 24, 2026 at the Girl Winter Film Tour in Salt Lake City, Biscuits will be screened over the coming months at film festivals across the United States and Canada. Find film screenings near you and additional details here.
