Helly Hansen: 500K Traverse

In March of 2022, I was asked to join and document a ski trip for Helly Hansen in the San Juan mountains of Colorado. The trip would feature three Helly Hansen skiers (Jim Ryan, Marie-Pier Prefontaine and Marcus Caston) partaking in the “500K Traverse” hut trip, and I was tasked with filming and telling the story of the trip, along with still photographer Cam Mcleod.

The San Juans are an amazing mountain range which make you feel more like you’re in Alaska than in Colorado. We lucked out with great snow and weather, and fantastic mountain accommodations courtesy of San Juan Mountain Guides.
