Experiencing Interruptions?

DOLORE

In a departure from the world of competitive racing and structured training, a pair of professional snowboard athletes embark on a quest driven by curiosity and a longing for new challenges—their very first high-alpine split board tour. Documented through photography and film, their extraordinary adventure unfolds against the backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and unexpected obstacles, showcasing their resilience and determination. What sets this journey apart is the fact that both protagonists, equipped with prosthetic legs, redefine the limits of adventure and inspire by conquering not only nature's challenges but also their own.
