26. Baffin Island: A Skier's Journey EP2 [Season 2]
2 months ago
High in the Canadian Arctic, 5 friends venture to the frozen fjords of North West Baffin Island during spring time. Ancient and colossal, these branching hallways of rock are the domain of seals and polar bears, and relied upon by local Inuit hunters. For visiting skiers, the fjords are nothing short of a dream. In every direction, giant couloirs ascend thousands of feet above the sea ice, weaving in between some of the tallest and cliffs on the planet. Baffin Island: A Skier's Journey EP2 [Season 2] is a step through these magical spaces.

stunning, absolutly stunning
It has been long time I've seen something so breathtaking and inspiring.. Beautiful cinematography and great skiing,
Thank you Jordan and others !
This just shows, yet again, that you don't need non-stop action, cliff jumps, spins, airs, and every other cliche of the current ski movie industry to make a great ski film. There's a connection to the skiers, to the experience, to the landscape, to the feeling, in your episodes that are lacking in 99% of what's out there.
You greatly capture the emotion and feeling that anyone who is truly passionate about skiing feels and transport us on these adventures that most of us can only dream of doing. Thank you for that.
1. In one scene someone's kiting but others are skiing. How often was kiting an option?
2. There's a scene around 12:45 when the camera pans over people looking down a face. How did you achieve that? Pole cam and steady hand?
Thanks for the stoke.
1. Kiting was hit and miss. Not very reliable, and sketchy with a big load, but Marcus and Jamie had a ton of fun when the wind was up.
2. Camera on the end of a tripod, holding my breath, and twixtor.
It gives the same feeling of expansiveness & grandeur that was so inspiring the first time I saw a picture of the Polar Star on McLean's site years ago.
Looking forward to the Latino episode.
Please can you tell me the font you used in the titles? Thanks
check video called "yo scream" on a buddies vimeo page. a small co-pro and sample of our little town
You guys rock BIG time !
I just wonder a few things, like - how did that experience of remotness, fragility of human beeing changed you?
I guess you dodn't return the same man after seeing Inuit live there, those magnificent cliffs, ice.
And technically: how did you protect digital lens and cameras in -30?
And last but not least:getting on the edge of that cliff in tha last movie chapter was risky.How did you know it wouldn't just fall off? This thing's been living for the past milions of years.
Cheers, and thank youu once again.
It's a joy to watch.
BTW - do you have a fixer up there?
let me know when you have a chance.
Thanks
