Inaccessible: In the remote reaches of Montanaās Crazy Mountains, professional skier Griffin Post embarks on a backcountry ski expedition, inspired as much by terrain as by historyāwhere snowfields and couloirs are bordered not only by cliffs and cornices, but by centuries-old land ownership patterns currently being contested in the nationās highest courts.
What begins as a ski mission quickly becomes something far more complex. Facing avalanche terrain, brutal winter conditions, and a legal landscape as steep as the surrounding peaks, Post and a team of elite snowsport athletes navigate invisible boundary lines to examine the importance and fragility of public land access.
At the heart of their journey lies a national paradox: millions of acres of public land that the public cannot legally reach. These inaccessible acres have long been a rallying point for hunters, but much of the outdoor community remains unaware of whatās at stake. Through Postās rare lens as both skier and hunter, Inaccessible exposes a divide within the outdoor community and calls for unity in a time when public land access is no longer a guarantee.
As the team pushes deeper into this fractured landscape, their search for memorable lines becomes a reckoning with a bigger question: Who gets to access, and ultimately own, Americaās public lands?
Beyond Parallels: After crossing Canada from north to south in 2021, the adventurers of AKOR expeditions set out on a new challenge: a crossing of the Canadian Far North, from the Yukon to the eastern edge of the country on Baffin Island. A 6,900-kilometre journey by bike, canoe, sailboat and on foot. But just months before departure, Nico, a key member of the team, is sidelined by a serious injury. The long road to his recovery unexpectedly initiates another journey: inspired by AKOR, a group of 12 people living with chronic pain embark on a collective challenge to cover, as a team, the 6,900 kilometres traveled by AKOR's 2024 expedition, at the same time as the adventurers, despite their own physical limitations.
