Description
The steep lines in the Telluride backcountry will challenge a skier; the terrain might take their life. But when the conditions come together and a rider is flying through the chute on the Hairy Banana or executing a flawless hard-rail turn on the San Joaquin couloir, there are few more fulfilling moments in a big mountain skiers’ lifetime – which is why Seth Morrison and backcountry-newbee Jacob Wester risked injury and ego to test their mettle. Oakley’s “Surviving Telluride” is a short film about one of Colorado’s most unique ski towns. Tucked in the San Juan Mountains, the small town of Telluride has gone from mining booms to being a jet-set destination–but after over a century, the love for the mountains hasn’t changed one bit.
