"2.5 Million" follows American skier Aaron Rice as he sets out to ski 2.5 million human-powered vertical feet in the backcountry and set a new world record. 

To be successful Aaron will have to ski over 330 days in the calendar year and chase snow around the world. The challenge will be both physically and mentally gruelling, and injuries are not an option.
