Known for a blend of artistic direction and impressive skiing skills, the Troupe crew never fails to impress with its video releases. This one, Home Wordd II, goes along that grain and then some. Samuel Winship, Henry Hawks, Aiden Ulrich, Blaine Gallivan, Stosh Czarniak, James Ablondi, Taylor Bond and Daniel Tisi offer smooth moves in front of the lens, while Ulrich (who’s been recovering from a burly brain injury) and Winship are to thank for the behind-the-scenes work—editing and designing for hours and hours to make this one-of-a-kind video come to fruition. Some words from Ulrich, below, on the visual masterpiece’s story.

“This film is a self reflection on the feeling one gets from skiing. An attempt to capture the mindset for why we subject our physical and metaphysical selves to the elements and the unknown. A study of expression and passion. It is a response to life changing experiences shared with loved ones, all while rooted in the outdoors.

Home Wordd II is particularly special to me considering I shot it prior to sustaining a traumatic brain injury, and completed the project concurrently with my healing process. The release of this piece is truly representative of not just returning to where I was before the injury, but celebrating the growth which has occurred from it.

This film is as much a part of myself as it is a piece of the people I am surrounded by, nothing but endless love for everyone in this video and for those who made it possible. Although I lost months and memories, I was able to regain each day I had in the mountains with my friends because of these clips. I cannot describe with words how meaningful this was for me, but maybe I was able to convey it through the medium of film.”
