A freeskiing documentary set at Vancouver Island鈥檚 is making waves online.
Frozen in Time, the 15-minute film, shot over 10 days last winter, premiered at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival in December and has almost a half-million views already.
Featuring three freeskiing masters 鈥� Eric Hjorliefson, Mark Abma and Chris Rubens 鈥� glamorous shots of the pristine mountain, and interviews with volunteers, the mini documentary is an homage to pure love of skiing.
Uncomfortable t-bars and primitive parking lot accommodations are a worthy price for the awesome powder.
The film is indulgent, delving into nothing deeper than a few feet of glorious powder. But if you鈥檙e missing Mount Cain, need a reminder of why to go, or just want to see some rad skiing, this is a must-watch film.
Mount Cain is open this winter, but the hostel is closed and the lodge is limited for social distancing.
An earlier documentary called Folklore was going to tell the mountain鈥檚 long history, but stalled in the editing phase.
The production team collected archival footage and new tape from 2018, but wasn鈥檛 able to raise enough money to pay a film editor.
