Ski-mountaineer Sam Anthamatten lives a split life: when you’re both a measured mountain guide and a daring professional freeskier, which hat do you wear?
Dividing your career this way is a challenge. Guiding requires the highest level of safety, and professional freeskiing demands immense risk. Sam walks this tightrope every day on the mountain. His balancing act draws admiration from every generation of the skiing community, from scrappy freeride hounds to the most experienced technical ski-mo pros.
We return to Sam’s lofty Swiss Alps backyard in this third and final episode of Portraits, steeped in big-mountain action. Joined by fellow freeride competitors Elisabeth Gerritzen, Martin Bender, and Yann Rausis, Sam ponders the central challenge of his career.
