Last year, professional skier Chris Benchetler and gimble guru Matt Cook, aka SkiChef, hit the road in search of inspiration. Traveling 16,500 miles up and down the western United States in the Stealthy Marmot—a Sprinter van turned rugged 4×4 mobile home—the two met up with an assortment of inspirational characters, gathering ideas from surfers, climbers, artists and friends all along the coast. Filmed entirely with the GoPro products, including the new Hero 6 camera and Karma drone, the film gives an intimate look at life on the road in search of fresh snow, new inspiration and adventure.
