Our Judges say:

A huge undertaking with proper cariters not afraid to show there true Humbled selfs. But do however spend the majority of the film afraid and my god it comes across. It is a must watch for an keen skier and anyone coming to SHAFF 2019
Ed Birch Director of Salt-Street productions

Zabardast is a raw mixture of doubt and beauty. Sometimes encountering triumph, sometimes failure, always adventure. I really recommend you go along for the ride.
Anna Paxton

A visually innovative journey into high altitude adventure and skiing.

The intimate travel diary of an incredible freeride expedition into the heart of the Karakoram range. The search for one of the most beautiful mountains to ski on the planet, standing at 5880m. An adventure so remote, so high, so commited that no mistakes were allowed. During five weeks, the crew got deeper and deeper inside Pakistan, with a 150 km loop in complete autonomy, pulling sleds filled with food, tents and solar panels across gigantic glaciers. As far from home as one can get. A meeting point of Freeriding and Mountaineering. A true adventure.
