The documentary features professional athletes Jeremy Jones, JT Holmes, Michelle Parker, Daron Rahlves, Elyse Saugstad, Connery Lundin and more each sharing their personal perspective on why making educated and informed decisions is essential. In addition to athletes, medical professionals from CRAIG Hospital, a Denver-based world-renowned rehabilitation hospital that specializes in neuro-rehabilitation, illustrate why snow safety and awareness is, and should be, a priority for all who wish to engage in mountain action sports.
