It’s not often that you can see a commercial for a ski resort featuring nothing but the ski patrol, but in this week’s video, the Snowbird Ski Patrol takes center stage. Of course the terrain, snow, and yes, explosions are all present as well, but it’s the sweet footage of the patrollers at work and play that makes this piece worth watching.
The video is from Michael Marantz, who’s a professional composer, cinematographer, editor, writer, digital artist, and experiential designer who, as he says, is “constantly looking to discover more about life, technology, and why we humans do what we do.”
Well, if his intent with this shoot is to tell the story about why humans ski, and more specifically, why they endure the rigors of being on the ski patrol, then he pretty much nailed, it.
Check out the video below, and be prepared to deal with the burning desire to drop everything and become a Snowbird Ski Patrol yourself.
