The Way Out drops you right into the action across the globe, from heavy Alaskan spine lines to local backyard laps in Whistler. It represents a path toward total freedom, whether tracking Hoji, Chris Rubens, and Mark Abma across the iconic Swiss Alps, or capturing breakout skier Lucy Leishman storming through Japan’s deep powder with three legendary freeskiers. The verdict is simple: the soul of skiing isn’t dead. It’s alive and well, wherever the snow is falling.

00:00We're going to start real easy with, can you define the soul of skiing?
00:07Doozy right off the bat. Is that a real question? The soul of skiing?
00:17It's just dark for, you know, two months out of the year. The sun doesn't rise up here.
00:21And during this dark time, you can just see little headlamps, just like these little beacons of joy
00:27popping around in the mountains. And I can just tell, like, there are so many people out there right now
00:32just having the time of their lives.
00:38Why do people continue to come to these places, dedicating their lives to this pursuit of something
00:43that's so fleeting, so abstract, and so personal? Assuming this thing can make it up the road,
00:49I think we're going to have a day of all days.
00:55A lot of people have uprooted their entire lives to be able to, like, cultivate relationships with
01:00this sport. Potentially one in a lifetime day. Yeah. Come up to the mountains and you're like,
01:04this is all I want to do. Like, this is it. As soon as I put my ski boots on
01:13and walk out the door,
01:14I go, I'm here.
01:25Today we are going to go skiing.
01:30Yeah, dude. Yeah. Have fun.
01:32Yee-haw.
01:33Don't hold back. I want to break free. Cause it's singing through your body.
02:00When you're out there with your buddies, like, you're in a different, different world.
02:05Come boys and slip away. Yee-ye-yee-yee-yee-yee.
02:15Don't look back. I want to break free. If you never see I'm coming,
02:21you'll never have to hide back.
02:25Take my hand. Take my everything. If you only got a moment, give it to me now.
02:36Holy .
02:40Marcus, are you okay?
02:43That was awesome.
02:45Oh, oh, oh. Love don't ever break the shape you take,
02:52oh, oh, ooh. Baby let for them voices slip away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:09Skiing is this connective tissue.
03:11Anyone who's a skier can kind of have this common ground
03:15and know where someone's coming from
03:16and kind of understand what they're about.
03:20Could you see anything at the end?
03:23That means so much more than having these material things in life.
03:27I don't think they can bring you the same sort of joy
03:30as sliding down the hill on two planks.
03:33I think it's that simple.
04:12I don't think they can bring you the same sort of joy.
04:13I don't think they can bring you the same sort of joy.
