The Draconians

The Draconians - Close Encounters of the Northern Kind Sam Favret joined Nikolai Schirmer at his home in the far north, to discover the secrets of narrow couloirs descended at full throttle, slopes that plunge straight down to the sea and days that push back the nights. Under the direction of Maxime Moulin, the two skiers - who are themselves filmmakers - took advantage of this journey, begun on the island of Senja and extended to the heart of the Lyngen Alps, to measure their contrasts as skiers and filmmakers. A dialogue fostered by long approach walks to beat the conditions and reach the Grail of powder. Then, as you'd expect with these two gentlemen, their perseverance was honored with exceptional descents in grandiose landscapes. An exciting roped party experience shared on the vertiginous faces of mythical Norway.
