STEPS, THE FIRST CLIMATE-FRIENDLY SNOWBOARD AND SKI FILM featuring frederic kalbermatten, reto kestenholz, aline bock, mikka hast, sten smola, nicolas vugnier and many more... a 50min documentary presented by "ride greener" and coupdoeil film; release november 2013 Sharing a ride in the powder is a good thing, but it’s even better if you share the ride to get there! RIDE GREENER challenge is to help riders to minimize their impact on the way to the mountains. We all know that the journey is as important as the ride itself, so take the bus, the train and hike up, that’s what it’s all about! Instead of flying around the world in pursuit of snow, the featured protagonists explore the Alps at their doorstep.They travel using public transportation and climb the highest, most impressive peaks on their own before beginning their spectacular descents and jumps. It dives into the world of people whose deep connection to the mountains ties them together. Worried about impending climate change, they are looking for an alternative way to pursue their passion in harmony with nature and experience the mountains in an ecologically sustainable way. Their thought-provoking comments about the effects of climate change and the fascination and freedom of snowboarding and skiing leave the viewer questioning their own approach to winter sports and everyday life. Filming from Paraglider During filming, great care is taken to limit CO2 emissions to an absolute minimum. Flights, helicopters, and snowmobiles are therefore strictly excluded from the production process. Flyover shots are accomplished in a carbon neutral way by using paragliders.RIDE GREENER wants to show today’s film industry that it’s possible to get spectacular winter footage without having a negative environmental impact.. After all, it’s in the best interest of every snowboarder and skier to mitigate impending climate change since it so strongly threatens their own playground—the mountains.
