A SKIER’S TOUCH

is an invitation to the proving ground—the ultimate demonstration of one’s ability to ski with both freedom and control. For Jérémie Heitz, four years on the tour (including a second-place finish in 2015 and third place the year before) has served a dual purpose. It exposed the Swiss skier to some of the best terrain in the world and inspired him to look closer, out this fall. A two-year project, the film follows Heitz up and down 15 Swiss peaks higher than 13,000 feet while charting the history and evolution of steep skiing. There are steep faces the world over—Heitz has skied many of them—but the Alps in his backyard captivate him the most.
