The latest edition of Peak Performance’s web series A Skier Knows focuses on big-mountain skier Matilda Rapaport. Throughout the video, viewers will enter the mind of the adventurous Swede as she explains her passion for claiming extreme mountains and burly lines—particularly in Alaska. “Skiing in Alaska is very special to me,” says Matilda. “I’ve had my most memorable moments as a skier in those steep and wild mountains—both the most euphoric and horrifying ones. I wanted the edit to have a very honest and personal approach and share those special moments and what skiing there means to me.”
