Chasing Niflheim I Story Of a First Descent with Christina Lusti and Andrew McNab - blackcrows skis

Christina Lusti and Andrew McNab skied a new first descent in British Columbia.
Lost in the middle of the Monashee massif, a deep gouge tears through the 2800-meter peak of Mount Niflheim, the third-highest summit in the Gold Range. This is where Christina Lusti and Andrew McNab made their first descent of the southwest couloir on March 8, 2023. A remote, aesthetic, and wild line for a rope team seeking harmony and solitude in its many achievements and firsts in the region. Skiing their new draco freebird for this charming occasion, Christina and Andrew take us along on a vertical adventure in the heart of British Columbia.

When I saw the title contained Niflheim I wondered if it was the Gold Range mountain. On a sunny day one can see many of the peaks in that range named for Nordic Gods from my home ski resort Silverstar. ;) Mt. Odin, Mt. Thor..... impressive peaks.

Great skiing, but people who aspire to make skiing films should think about speaking clearly instead of casually mumbling.
