« Boundless » — Un portrait de Sam Anthamatten


    Freeride Ski Moview

    Le skieur-alpiniste Sam Anthamatten mène une double vie : quand on est à la fois guide de haute montagne et freerider professionnel, quel rôle doit-on endosser ?

    Partager ainsi sa carrière est un véritable défi. Le métier de guide impose une sécurité absolue, tandis que le freeski de haut niveau exige de repousser ses limites et de prendre des risques immenses. Chaque jour en montagne, Sam marche sur cette fine ligne entre contrôle et engagement total. Son équilibre impressionne toutes les générations de skieurs, des meilleurs freeriders aux experts du ski-alpinisme technique.
