Rip Raw is an action based mini-series that follows winter athlete Chris Booth in the search for unique mountain experiences around the world. Follow Boothy as he collides with big mountains and even bigger personalities from Mt Cook's Aoraki region to The People's Republic of Macedonia, as Rip Raw takes you on an honest, eyes-open journey behind the images of Rip Curl's 2011 winter marketing campaign.

Rip Raw has been in Europe for over two weeks, and not a flake has fallen, so in a stroke of genius Boothy hatches a plan. Rip Raw leaves Chamonix under the cover of darkness and heads south to Val Thorens, joining Rip Curl snowboarder Kieren McLaughlin to drink until it snows. Follow the boys as they hit the world-renowned Val-Park, get turbo radical sideway at the Alain Prost ice-driving academy, and conduct a euro dance experiment on the tables at La Folie Douce.
