Against the stunning backdrop of Engelberg's mountains, a group of locals take us with them on the pursuit of perfect lines, breathtaking views and joy of riding. We asked Anton about his experience of making a freeride movie.
Klara: “What are you searching for?” This is the question at the heart of the trailer. Can you provide us with an answer to it?
Anton: First of all, I really like to end videos, trailers, messages with a question, it makes people think for a second of what is important for themselves and also in this case we create curiosity.
Everyone is different and is looking for different things to ski in the mountains and that's okay, in the end of the day you will always end up with a cold one laughing with all your friends and talking about the day that was spent up in the mountains. I find this a spot-on description about the community in Engelberg and what this movie is all about.
Klara: In the film description on the website, it mentions that you are searching for the perfect moment. What does that mean to you?
Anton: When a rider is coming straight against me, making the deepest turn without spraying snow all over and arms and legs are in perfect position and I snap exactly that 0,01sec moment. That's the perfect moment for me. Then you have others who love to send cliffs, doing hot laps in endless funpow, riding steep or simply out touring with a dog or friends, It really comes back to everyone being different and that's OKAY as long as it's your decision.
Klara: There are 13 of your riders. That's quite a large group! How did you all come together? How did you coordinate?
Anton: Oh boy this is a good one, it's a great mix of Swiss cheese, Scandy candy and French toast. Friends from different parts of Europe who share one thing amongst many, THEY LOVE SKIING! This past winter was difficult in many ways, I'm sure many people can relate that the forecast was very tricky to read, resulted with many last minute decisions of where and when to go and film.
