Summary It is easy to understand the spiritual connection Aboriginal people have shared with the land after experiencing western Canada's majestic mountain ranges. This relationship continues today, and for some, it has led to an involvement in Canada's competitive ski circuit. We follow three such people who are making their mark in the ski world in different ways. Sam Kent is a 16 year-old prodigy creating a stir as one Canada's top Aboriginal skiers. Mark Gallup travels the globe as a world-class ski photographer employed by the major elite ski magazines, and Wendy Lumby is a ski coach in Alberta who is breaking down barriers and stereotypes as she prepares athletes for high level competition. We interweave their stories and demonstrate how their passion for the sport of skiing has drawn them closer to the land in a way that nothing else could.
