Mountainwatch |Video

Halation features Mitchy Davern, a former competitive snowboarder, and Ben Poechman, an artist who sees snowboarding as an extension of his creativity. In this exploration of snow and self, the film captures their shared pursuit where snowboarding transcends sport. 

“After taking a step back from competing, snowboarding just felt so much more fun and fresh again. It feels way more organic just celebrating everyone’s differences and having the time to see how everyone looks at the world so differently. I don’t think there’s any better feeling than just being outside with your mates and getting to do something like snowboarding.” – Mitchy Davern
