The second installment of Head Skis’ What’s Your Limit? campaign focuses on backcountry badass James Heim. The episode displays Heim’s routine as he prepares for the perfect day on the mountain.

“His [Heim’s] preparations can last as long as one year while consistently working on his gear to make sure that every piece of equipment – and James himself – is ready to go at a moment’s notice. It takes patience, faith and enormous will to keep going through the nerve-wrecking anticipation and sleepless nights, the disappointments and setbacks that can accompany the wait for that perfect day.” writes Head Skis via its YouTube page.
