OF A LIFETIME | The North Face

[@Kthomasritchie]

Quite simply the most beautiful snowboarding adventure movie ever made.

[@susannewilliams]

Absolutely agree.

[@johncuthbert86]

yep

[@viiral4181]

I sobbed

[@davidweaver861]

I concur Dr.

[@kmihhh]

Hard to imagine levels of stress of the editor who had to cut big amounts of most probably gorgeously filmed material which couldn't make it into the final version due to length considerations... Awesome movie!

[@doptimist]

There’s need to be a full length version.

[@jamieb.7095]

One of the best films I've seen in a long time. I laughed, smiled, and cried.

[@chrisridap]

I cried a couple of times, but the Radiohead montage just made my heart explode. Thank you for this beautiful movie.

[@Wavelover33]

Me too! Absolutely beautiful the comparison between a families love for their daughter and the whales love for their calf. How we are all the same. The true beauty of our world. Perfect music. Stunning

[@brianmcmanus57]

Watching Mila cry on a run made this video so real. Those runs are so extreme, I get scared on a resort & this young women is in the middle of Antarctica ice climbing into runs. Hats off to her & her uncle's!

[@xinxinchen8527]

As a mother of two ,It is so nice that they bring a teenage into a movie and a lifetime trip...and show us how they grow .it is a life time trip for real .

[@yZstarAk1979]

Next Level.She's gonna be a badass

[@snowsurfr]

As an athlete & mountaineer, I’m glad they rapped off the gnarlier iced sections. A fall there would likely have a serious result. Managing risk to one’s abilities and conditions is the key to survival in world ruled by physics.

[@rabmcleod3508]

I seen this last night on the big screen at Mountains on Stage. It’s great, best film I’ve seen in a long time.

[@JS-yj7ow]

A dream! Ok, just finished the whole film. Wow! This is what ski movies should be. No hype, amazing footage, and personal growth. Can’t wait to see what becomes of Mila’s adventure career. What a gift for her to grow up in the environment she has.

[@USMC1997]

This popped up as an ad for me, randomly. I’ve never snowboarded & haven’t had a North Face Jacket in 30 years, but somehow the algorithm got this one right. Amazing short film. Incredible.

[@whereisthekarma]

Same!

[@jimclean2]

The conversation 33:30. What a hard exchange to watch. “See you in 2 years” … “ah who knows” 😢

[@antydemant1]

The reason is that we Ukrainians cannot make life plans for more than a few days, weeks, months, or years due to the war in our homeland

[@jimclean2]

@ yeah. In the beginning they mentioned that they will head to the front lines to fight when they get back

[@vancouverbill]

​@@jimclean2 brutal 😣

[@DerFlorisch]

i was only crying in awe for only roughly 80% of this

[@ameykhairnar5582]

It would be crazy to have such a dad. Hats off to Mila for holding up!

[@GracielaPorraz]

Amazing movie! Beautiful relation between dad and daughter, plus the cool uncle. Kudos to all of them for sharing their experiences with all of us.

[@TheNorthFace]

🙌 🙌

[@zzskylarkzz]

The cinematography of the shots capturing the antarctic, the wildlife, the people and what it means to be them... its stunning! What a dream it must be sail to such locations touring with family, I can hardly imagine what it must feel like to be a young adult with such an amazing opportunity to explore and develop a skill set like this together with those who raised you and taught you to ride.What it must feel like to be a father teaching his daughter to push the limits of what she believes she is capable of by leading as an example doing so himself, and not alone but along with his older brother. The trailblazer that set forth what has turned into a generational family endeavor of conquering ones own fear transcending it and setting themselves free to become a far greater form of themselves. This is something only those who truly value all this life has to offer that creates such a wild amount of tenacity and determination to explore and develop together. Grateful to be a witness to something of such spirit and pure magnificence taking place.

[@Ren2285]

Amen🎉

[@go_rout]

While watching the video, I found myself reflecting on many things. As a Korean family of four preparing for our first sailing yacht adventure, I came across this video while searching for yacht-related content. It wasn't until the video ended that I realized it was from The North Face channel. However, the stories of the family in the video, the breathtaking yet terrifying landscapes of Antarctica, and the overall atmosphere were mesmerizing. The 44-minute video felt like it passed in less than 10 minutes. The visuals, sound design, and storytelling were simply outstanding. Ah! I regret watching this video before going to bed. I feel like I won’t be able to sleep tonight. 🤣

[@nadezdamamontova3137]

Same here man, hahaha , difficult to sleep after this amazing video

[@melinayeamon2830]

Ughhh this documentary was so good! Def my favorite north face one. The child’s point of view brought a whole new element to seeing these amazing people do amazing, dangerous things in such amazing and dangerous places. I can’t imagine the anxiety she felt knowing there’s no hospitals around if things went south. Life is a dream and it can be anything you make it and it’s beautiful to see people that haven’t forgotten that. ❤ thank you north face and thank you to the beautiful people in this documentary

[@Ella7194]

I saw this last night. If it hasn't won an award yet, it deserves MANY. I loved it: cinematography, the adventures experienced daily... it was so rewarding to see the love, skills and comradory of family and crew.

[@RouteToTravel]

Speechless. What a film, what a story, what a journey, what a place ❤

[@Ren2285]

I've watched this 7 times in 2 days, all the way through. Crying each time. One of the most beautiful short films I have ever seen. So raw. Very inspiring.❤

[@mikeflynn552]

The best sliding sport film I’ve ever seen!

[@brianharder7714]

It's hard to express how incredible the images here are. The landscape, the light, the surface and the drone footage. Good heavens! Breath taking. And the back story with a father and his daughter... really cool. And I'm only half way!

[@thatguyzack5093]

Props to that sailboat captain, the true hero in this story. Incredible sailing and risk management in that environment to make it there and back safely.

[@zzskylarkzz]

This is how I hope to live my life someday! Thank you everyone so much for showing the capacity we have to live with such freedom, out so far beyond boundary. There is an infinite amount to discover on the journey we are all on here together and things like this just make me so excited for ride... OF A LIFETIME!

[@sommerau]

Beautiful. The music, the shots, the editing, the caracters...classic de le Rue energy quoi...

[@sparkwilkie2577]

There is so much passion and love in this film, nothing can top that

[@mqrkldn]

The scenic backdrop, the fresh powder, the drone shot and music at 36:33 is just 👌

[@collazosproject]

Indescriptible… wow Jerome, cuando creía que no lo podías hacer mejor, te has vuelto a superar. Enhorabuena a todo el equipo, solo puedo decir gracias. Gracias por este contenido tan maravilloso.

[@_Mopey]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on youtube, and radiohead song at the end (exit music) was just chef's kiss❣️

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

WOW!! What a magical film. I'm blown away. Captains line including soundtrack was incredible and Mila's birthday section just beautiful . What memories this family has and Jerome and crew they will forever be in your debt for making these beautiful images. An adventure of a lifetime.

[@sergeflousier]

Thank you Vernon 🎉❤

[@alessandrociceri331]

Mila continue la légende et l’aventure Delerue ! Merci pour ce magnifique voyage plein d’émotions ❤

[@susannewilliams]

Thank you for this beautiful film. One Love.

[@maloledantec]

One of the greatest movies of snowboard of all time. Congrats to everyone working on this project

[@stumeadows3849]

I seriously can’t believe what I just watched. Unreal!

[@ralienjax]

This literally came on as a commercial after a video I was watching, and I decided to let it play... I am honestly so glad I did, because it was so emotional and beautiful. I cried so many times. It left me wanting to follow more of their journeys and revel in their accomplishments. It was absolutely inspiring and so captivating. Well done.

[@gustavepotez4406]

Magnifique !!! Des images à couper le souffle ! une famille de dingueeee 🔥🔥🎆 PS : Sympa le Hudelot Noëllat au milieu de l'Antarctique 🥰❤‍🔥 38:59

[@nathanaelselig8595]

This is the proof that documentary can be stronger than cinema. ❤ Mind-blowing film.. J'ai été emporté ! Bravo Jérôme.

[@HopeForMercyTV]

Mila is so insanely courageous and inspiring for doing this at her age. Truly amazing

[@diegoweidemann]

This movie is an absolute masterpiece ! Engaging storytelling, fabulous shots and immaculate editing, I’ve never seen such a unique storyline in an adventure movie before. And the expedition is equally as extraordinary ! I can’t even begin to imagine the pressure these athletes must have felt facing those gnarly lines, alone in the immensity of Antarctica. Congratulations to everyone who was involved in this project, you nailed it 🌊🏔️

[@MelissaFLM]

This was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! I am in awe of Mila, and quite a bit surprised that she expressed having fear because she already looked absolutely fearless to me. What a remarkable woman and family and what an amazing adventure! Mila, you are an inspiration!

[@adam.schoetzau]

thanks mountains on stage for bringing this to the cinemas! such a great documentation of amazing people doing amazing stuff. thanks the north face for letting us watch it again for free ❤

[@sterben2720]

Got this video as an ad and I have watched it for 30min before coming here to finish the video. I literally got tears of joy and awe the world is wynorrific, I hope one day I get the chance to experience anything close to this.

[@frannietennant5501]

this blew my socks off I have watched it over and over, it is so inspiring and beautiful too, what a lucky young lady to have such an adventurous dad and uncle who would take you along... I have sailed across the Bay of Biscay and it was 5 days of hell.... so I understood the beginning of the movie being seasick, possibly the most awful 5 days I could imagine.

[@benthorne4148]

I’ve seen a lot of adventure films in the last 30+ years. That, essentially a love letter from a father to daughter as she progresses into adulthood, is probably the best I’ve ever seen. Beautifully shot, edited, soundtracked. Better than Dodo’s Delight!

[@cfjwood123]

Possibly the coolest thing I've ever watched!

[@CaptNemo666]

ABSOLUMENT MAGIQUE ❤ Merci un million de fois pour ce film magnifique, je l'attendais avec une impatience pas possible Juste parfait, ce mélange de voile au bout du monde, de snow au milieu des paysages les plus sublimes qu'on puisse imaginer, plus la famille! Que demande le peuple A TRIP OF A LIFETIME ❤

[@anulka009]

Incredibly filmed and narrated, beautiful and moving. Amazing job

[@AdventureTeamTv]

I thought that there couldn't be anything cooler than the movie "The Art of Flight". But you guys made such a movie that I didn't want to miss a second of your video. Music, selection of shots, dramaturgy, color, sound, editing - everything is just top notch. You made my day. Thank you so much, this movie is already in my favorites and it inspires me to travel and create.

[@Synapse__]

Thank you for making such a great snowboard films nowadays! ❤ Xavier’s Family! The North Face and other sponsors (Rossignol, wine sponsor;) ), advancements in the camera capturing abilities, and a lot more. So, at the end, we are able to watch such a beautiful movies and ask questions ourselves… Greetings from Ukraine!🇺🇦(now in the Warsaw, Poland, due to… actually what was shown in the movie, special thanks for spreading that information (I know it was required to do by , but it is Truth what is happening, some of it). Watched this movie now after the first trip to Mountains, West Tatras, first day after the trip to “adopt back” (in 3 years, due to being locked in Ukraine, without any Freedom… terrible feeling, for me), found out it, just after the “Circle of Madness” rewatch (first was in the train back from the trip). Beautiful movies! Feeling a lot of motivation now to explore Mountains, while I am again feeling the Freedom (away from my home, but it is how it is). Having the Rossignol XV 2018 for 4 years (and for Enduro-MTB - YT Capra 2019), only. That are 2 of my so solid equipments that are both still pushing my limits (feeling so much more potential in them to do it), and I am fully (almost, trusting my intuition firsthand) trusting them. Both are like on rails when pushing hard and on the speeds. Tignes, France will show next month) (Chamonix to explore for a day). La Grave explored but on a non-appropriate board - Nitro Team Gullwing. Now thinking of buying that beautiful XV Split of this year, but it can end up in the bootpacking and ice-axes (and ski-alpinizm gear) for me as well, to skip that stage😅 still not trusting that torsional flex of split and love my Flow NX2 fastec bindings, especially in the queues, to protect the top sheet against (you know against whom 😁). You seems cannot ride powder from the top lift station, due to such a snow competition (I love to, but it is not possible), so need to reach first. P.S.: Xavier, in case You are reading this. Please continue somehow the knowledge sharing (How to XV) in one form or another on the Freeride aspects (I know it is very complex to do, but it is sooo much valuable information for the Community)… I rewatched some many times and it helped a lot + People I met in real life. And now I am sharing all it, going with buddies to Tignes in the late January.

[@benj_woodley]

Such a beautiful film by amazing people. It is a truly inspiring documentary.

[@bertrandlanneau]

C'est trop court !!! On en veut plus ! Quel plaisir !

[@butchbulosan2510]

This is the most inspiring the north face clip I've ever watch and the best and gnarliest scene ever .. every dad must watch ❤❤❤🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@ViajerosPorMaryTierra]

Wow that snowboarding down the *ICEBERG* without ending up in the water, was amazing 🤩 and what beautiful father/daughter relationship 🥺❤️❤️❤️ congratulations you are both veryyy lucky 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️⛵⚓🌎

[@nathanbrodin2948]

Maybe the best movie I ever seen and I'll ever see. Truly changed my life objectives and vision for my future.

[@TheNorthFace]

🫶🔥

[@roberth7401]

I loved this video for the adventure in Antartica, for an example of how the raise a child and about conquering fear. What a wonderful family! I loved the composition of this video: sights, sound and narration. The drone operator deserves a lot of credit, I felt like I was participating in the adventure. This young girl is going to grow up knowing that the sky is the limit for her career and life.

[@radiotec76]

I would have skipped over this from the beginning as I usually do with sponsored videos but I was hooked from the beginning and was captivated all the way to the end. I couldn’t go there myself but you did and I thought the narrative was compelling and the cinematography was nothing short of stunning. I’m glad I saw this video through to the end. Merci beaucoup!

[@ManuelSimonato]

Impressive. Probably the best snowboard adventure movie I've seen. Amazing lines, insane footage, perfect music choice. Thanks for sharing!

[@tobiasludescher9827]

yeah Jerome, thanks for making us cry ❤😘❤

[@robertpokovec77]

Watched it on the big screen as part of the Mountains on stage festival. Absolutely loved it! Mixture of emotions, scenery, story, the family vibes, everything! For sure in the top three sports (or any other) documentary film in my lifetime.

[@cedrictrantoul60]

trés beau, émouvant, et quelle aventure. merci de nous faire rêver !

[@J4Jenius]

I love the sailing video in the beginning. Brought back memories of past adventures. I understand the sea sickness. However, as a sailor it is part of the life. Bring it on! It may kill me but that won’t stop me. Respect it, enjoy it, and if I die then I died a free man. God bless these people for sharing their courage in the face their fears and live free.

[@alexspitz7743]

It simply made me cry. It was beautiful. Just beautiful. I could feel my fear when Mia was scared.

[@yZstarAk1979]

Great Film guys. Technically and otherwise. Great perspective-the emotional dynamics of overcoming fear in extreme ski and alpine endeavors.

[@bebasil7344]

Absolutely incredible! Loved every minute of it. That’s what I call living the the life in full extent. I’m so happy for you guys, well done to you all

[@DenoB777]

One of the best Movies ive seen in a long time! Love to verbier❤️🤞🏻

[@karnouilledan5980]

Tellement content pour la tite Mia ❤ respect à papounet et tonton juste magnifique

[@Ferrago]

Quel incroyable voyage initiatique pour Mila ! Je m'identifie beaucoup à elle mais, malgré mon bon niveau de ski pour qui je suis, je n'ai jamais vécu à la montagne, je n'ai jamais été entouré de professionnels, je n'ai jamais été initié à l'alpinisme... Et, à une période où je suis en train de finir mes études et réfléchir à où je veux aller et ce que je veux faire plus tard; je l'envie tellement ! Je n'ai rien d'autre à dire que, bonne chance pour le FWT ! PS : Impressive to see how easily you all switch between french and english in everyday day life, another point I envy you, lol
