Mountainwatch | Film of The Week
A few weeks ago we’d received word that Matt Deck from the Sentinal Boardstore had taken up former snowboarder Michael Foti on his proposition to become the first Sit-Skier to make a run down Etheridge peak. With wintery conditions and a good snow pack leading into the month of October, both Matt and Michael had made a pack to venture out and make this vision a reality.
Matt and Michael alongside a committed crew consisting of Freeskier Boen Ferguson, Adrian Borcherds, Emily Dorahy, Stefan Doyle and Filmmaker Lucas Wilkinson set out on foot, bikes, skis, splitboards, a wheelchair and a modified electric skateboard that could take Michael further up to the snow-line.
Etheridge; is a heartfelt short film that tells the story of this mission. This is truly inspiring piece that gives a little insight into what this group of friends accomplished. Watch now!
