Caught in an avalanche. Is freeriding worth the risk? | Arctic Lines - Twenty Chapter 2

Arctic Lines presents: Twenty - A documentary series about a freeride snowboarder's journey towards sustainability
TWENTY CHAPTER TWO
Risk-taking is part of snowboarding culture.
In Twenty Chapter 2, Antti gets into trouble and is taken down by an avalanche. He is forced to think hard about his approach to risk-taking while exploring the high country around Kilpisjärvi, Finland, where a beautiful line for his Arctic Lines project awaits.
Then things are stepped up at Bárrás, an enticing mountain easily seen from Finland, but located in Norway. The crew, featuring a special guest, has to deal with a difficult layer in the snowpack that creates spooky avalanche conditions.
What is an acceptable risk? There’s no denying that others will also suffer if something bad were to happen. Can it all be justified with the thrills that you can experience in steep terrain?
No matter what we do, accidents can happen. And when that happens, our greatest responsibility is to share the experiences honestly, even if it’s painful. That way, others can learn from our mistakes and make better decisions in the backcountry.
Twenty follows one athlete’s attempts to reconcile his conscience with the requirements of his profession. Is it possible to pursue a long career in freeriding, take on filming missions and expeditions, and do it all without getting hurt or exceeding the limits of our planet? With its inherent risks and demands, can freeriding ever be truly sustainable?
