Disaster-style alpinism is fast, light and (almost always) hard. So what happens when you apply the same those to child rearing ? The short film series « Parenting: Disaster Style » produced by chronicles climbers Zoe Hart and her husband, Maxime Turgeon, as they share wild nature and sport with their sons. Just like disaster-style alpinism, there’s high consequences with an unconventional approach but if you throw everything at it, you’re in for the adventure of a lifetime.

words on the film « Painting the mountains » :

« To me, the discipline of steep skiing is quite obscure. These slow and tedious turns above a maximum exposure seem illusory. I had to shift my perspective to see in the practices of , , and a beauty that transcends the risk-taking. Their approach deserved to be observed differently, as something in the desire, passion, and gaze of these skiers made them perhaps artists, or ‘painters of the mountain.’

, the photographer, also brings something artistic with his work around El Chaltén. His desire to document the birth of a practice in a place, year after year, is obsessive.  He sensed something that nobody had seen, and he decided to dedicate his life to this calling.

This artistic gaze shared between skiers and a photographer/journalist quickly became the foundation of the film, its ‘color,’ which set the tone and would need to be maintained throughout the story.

It is only every 2 or 3 years that we release a feature film aimed at festivals and cinemas. It is a long process, often in the shadows and filled with doubt. All this work finally makes sense for us once shared with the audience when the entire team relives those moments that were first shared in a small committee, now with full houses.

This film is one we are collectively and unanimously very proud of. It takes a whole team to make a movie: the breathtaking images by , the sharp and precise editing by Hugo Clouzeau ( ), and the enchanting and impactful music by provide multiple perspectives synthesized into a single object at each stage. Together, we painted the mountains.

The practice of skiing is still abstract to me, but at least in this film, I hope it is beautiful.

You can find the movie in all the best festivals this fall, and starting tonight at the gigantic tour of .

We will be there on many stage to present this special one. ☝️

Thanks and for the trust. Thanks for pioneering ski in Chalten, and represents the soul of skibum culture in the world !
