All right.
Elena is ready.

-Probably 15 seconds.
-Copy, 15.

One hundred.

Hi!

-Who is this?
-Elena.

I don't remember
getting into it,

but I know I was just
the most competitive child
in the world.

I hated to lose
when I was a kid.

Eleven-years-old.

Wow! Look out for her.

She is the future
of women's snowboarding,
and that's Elena Hight.

She was top dog
at a very young age.

The rest of us were like,

"Whoa, man, you made
finals. Nice work."

Elena was, like, for sure
in finals and probably
on the podium.

Just landing into
the top of transition.

Feel like, she came in
with some aggressiveness.

I was like, "Oh, that's why
they call you Mighty Mouse."

One, two... Oh!

Never been done.
Female or male...

She was a dominant
competitive figure
for so many years.

That is huge.

Taking women's
half-pipe snowboarding
to the next level.

It's hard to walk away
from something that you know
you're good at,

that you haven't quite
accomplished everything
you wanted to accomplish.

It's hard to know

when that moment is

that you're not going
to regret pushing harder,

but also feeling the pull
of your heart

is taking you
in a different direction.

You can see the blue skies.

To me,
it just seems like
many of my friends,

she's come to this point
where the contests just
really weren't doing it.

It wasn't inspiring,
you know,

and this is like something
she can really sink her
teeth into again

and do what she did
in the contest world

and go and do that
in freeriding.

It looks like I would
need to kind of, like,

redirect.

This transition to
the backcountry is scary.

I'm not a seasoned veteran.

And I'm learning
along the process,

and that is kind of scary.

It doesn't look
too crazy over here.

All right.

There's so much
more involved

than just the snowboard

in backcountry riding.

And when you go
into the mountains,

you're forced into
a place of observation

which takes presence
and it's always changing.

It's very
nerve-racking

walking away from
what I've done

for the past 15 years

and going to this avenue
that had a lot to learn

and no real idea if I'm
going to succeed or fail,

but I feel like
just the experience
is worth taking the leap.

All right.
Elena dropping in ten.

Five, four, three, two, one.

You know, with as much
travel as I have

been doing in my career,

waking up at home is
just such a treat in itself.

I haven't really spent
an entire winter at home

or even a month
of a winter at home

since I was, like, 15.

So it's pretty cool to
be off the contest scene

and also have a winter
like this lined up in Tahoe

where I can stay home
and explore.

Yeah, it's pretty...
Pretty special.

I feel very fortunate
to grow up here,

and, you know, my parents
worked really hard

so that we could live in
this beautiful place and be
surrounded by nature

and we would go
riding at night,

we'd go every weekend.

My parents would drive me
all around the lake
for USASA events,

and we'd all get together
and run around
the mountain together

and cause trouble.

You know, it's just a really
tight-knit community here.

Looks good.
It's a double stager now.

-I think you should hit it.

There's a lot
of really amazing
snowboarders here in Tahoe

and a lot of people
that I've looked up to
for a long time

and really wanted to get
those people here

and run around
our backyard together.

So, ride us right to the rock
or ride us left to the rock.

So we've got
Nick Russell, Danny Davis,

and a couple days out
with Sammy Luebke.

You know, when you're out
deep in the mountains,

the people that you're with
are really so important.

They are your safety net.

They're your
confidence boost.

They're like the ones that
are keeping the vibes high,

passing along wisdom

and I've been really,
really fortunate

to be out with a lot of really amazing people this year.

Oh, yeah,
this is the zone now.

-Pretty cool.
-Wow.

Yeah. Variable day
out here on our snowboards,

riding with two
of my longtime friends,

Nick... ...Russell

and Elena...
...Hight.

What happened here?

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah, boy!

All kinds of snow in there.

Yes.

To the pocket.

Whoo!

-Yeah, Dan.
-Yeah.

Look, I pushed him.

Point their fingers

Whoo!

That was great.

That was so fun.

Yeah!

Jam it, baby.

Kind of more like
cross cording.

-You're going to nail it.
-Yeah.

Elena dropping.

I was almost beat.
I don't know what happened.

All right. I'll go again.

Yeah. That's what
I'm talking about.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Nice, there.

Whoo!

We're kind of scoping
some of the stuff that, like,

inspired me to become
a snowboarder essentially.

All of these zones

are what I watched
on repeat in the films,

and it's pretty cool to be out in these legendary zones,

and it makes you appreciate
where snowboarding comes from

and where it's going.

Let's go, Sun.

Come on, Sun.
Let's do this.

I'm ready.

Jeremy Jones
is the first person to ride

Grizzly Spines and Paradox.

You know, a line as serious
as the Grizzly Spines,

um, if something happens,

you know,
the consequences are high.

I remember
vividly riding a line,

kind of came over the roll

and there's really
nothing there.

It's like super airy below,

it's so steep,
you couldn't come to a stop
if you wanted to.

Pulled out
by the skin of my teeth,

and I'm not sure I could
go back and repeat it.

Paradox was
one of my favorite movies
as a kid.

I think it was just...

It came out at a time
when I was really
watching a lot of videos

and it was really
groundbreaking at the time.

There was a lot of exposure,

and Jeremy just went up there
and slayed it.

Standing on top of this line

that I've been looking at
in photos forever.

It's down there.

Been on top of this thing
for about an hour,

just waiting
for the sun to pop.

Just waiting.

Patience is a virtue.

Oh, man.

Really hard call right now.

Looks like there's
more clouds rolling in.

Let's, uh, call it.

Looked epic to ride,

and knowing that Jeremy
was the first
person to ride it

and he's been
such an inspiration to me

and helping me, like, step
into this new life really.

Like, Jeremy's been such
a big part of that for me.

The generation before me
really has made

what seemed impossible
really possible,

which has been kind of
the inspiration for me

to continue on
what I'm doing.

Whoo!

Go now.

Whoo-hoo!

The creek
is giving us traction.

Yep, we got this.
We got it. And we're out.

-Good job, Elena.
-And we're out.

Cruising, getting lost
in nowhere Japan.

Break nowhere apart
is now here.

So we're here right now.

There's so many mountains,

so many little
mom and pop ski resorts.

And it's just limited
by your imagination.

Walking around
the forests of Japan.

How's that there?

Whoo!

Yeah. Great.

Putting together
this trip,

Hana was like
a no-brainer for me.

She really has brought me
into the backcountry

and shared her passion of it

with me throughout the years

and she just loves
snowboarding
more than anyone

and that essence is really...
It's contagious.

I just think this is
such a beautiful opportunity

for her to go and experience

all the different
kinds of snowboarding.

And it's really cool to be,
like, passing along

some of the knowledge
I've picked up to her.

Right here
and then I thought...

And seeing her
determination and energy

is fulfilling me
in a different way.

-Yeah!
-Hana!

Fun, huh?

See there's a couple...
in there.

Ended up talking to Travis

and he was like,
"I'm going to be in Japan."

I'm like, "I want to snowboard with you girls."

-No, it's right here.
-So close there.

I was over here with

one of my dearest Japanese
riding partner Shin Biyajima.

We were gonna be
just travelling, exploring
some new areas.

Worked out too perfect
not to jump on it.

I've always looked up
to him and the things
that he does on a snowboard

and he has elevated snowboarding in a lot of ways.

There's always
stuff out in the backside.

It doesn't feel
like there's a ceiling
in freeriding.

You're limited by
your own creativity.

-Coming!
-Yep.

There are endless set-ups

in the mountains
with snow conditions,
terrain features.

It's endless.

-Whoo!

To be
in the backcountry

and see the way, like,
Hana looks at features

differently than Travis
looks at features,

it's just super inspiring
and exciting

because you really
can ride things

however you want to.

-We're pretty legit
off the backside.
-It's pretty big.

Feel better about it,
now that I see the landing.

-Right?
-Yeah.

Backcountry riding,
free riding,

you know, it comes from
an internal compass

of, "Where do
I wanna take this?

How do I wanna approach it?

Where do I wanna go with it?"
It's fascinating.

I've loved
all components of it.

There's no straightforward way to learn it except by
going out and doing it

and it's really
great to see Elena's

authentic interest
in exploring it.

Have fun.

-Will do.
-Just ridin', pal...

You'd enter
at the top big open

and then you'd
have to wriggle through
to get around that.

First ridge past the chunky...

Pretty freaking money.

Four, three, two, one. Drop.

Okay. Yeah.

Whoo!

They used to pray

Pretty deep.

Elena!

We're going to drop from here.

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah, Hana!

-Whoa!
-Whoo!

Whoo!

All right.

I'm good. I'm good.

-- You did good.
-- I did good.

Okay.

Really nice job
getting out of that.

Thanks.

Whoo! Oh, man!

Thirty-six going on
19, man.

Like they used

Snowboarding!

Like they used

Like they used

They used to pray

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

-All right!

Yeah, Shin!

Double overhead,
for sure.

Three Elenas big.

Whoo!

Duck!

-Oh.

Damn it!

Take a little
more speed,

...harder and then
you kind of just...

Travis!

-Yeah, Trav.
-Oh, sick.

There's one more line.

I'm gonna follow you?

Let's just talk about it
real quick on the lip.

-Just don't crash,
just dump it.
-Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

-Oh, my God.

Yeah!

-She went so big.

What do you think?

You want another?

I'm good.
I'm good.

Oh, my God.
That looks so sick, dude.

Snowboarding
as an industry

really grew up in Tahoe.

It was an epicenter
of filming and contests

and people just
thriving on the sport.

And it's been so cool
to go back to these spots

that I watched as a kid,

being like, "Wow,
I remember this.

"and this inspired me
so much as a kid,"

to attempting to do

the same thing
that they were doing.

Its mind-bending,
actually.

Come on.

Whoo!

Hammer it!

Have heard the things

Some things that

Whoo, yeah!

Nice.

Whoo!

Nice run! Oh, God.

-- Yeah!
-- Oh, my God!

-Yeah, man.
-Yeah!

It's been rad to,
like, have this trifecta

of Nick, Elena and myself.

We'll take a look
at something from
a standard movie,

we'll be like,
"We should go
hit this tomorrow."

There's kind of
this library.

Being in those zones
where you can
kind of, like,

picture Tom Bert
riding that same thing,

or Jim Sellers,
or Jer.

I just have this notion
of, "How lucky am I?"

Like, what did I do
to get this, you know?

How did I get so lucky?

I think that's
good to go.

His stories is

Whoo!

Wow, Elena, that was
good for the soul.

Okay. How's that feel?

Whoo!

Yeah, dropping in
three, two...

Whoo!

Whoo!

That made me
wanna go take a run.

Oh, it's starting
to shimmer.

It seems a bit
more set up.

It's not gonna be full,
like, get on it

-and it's like poof.
-Yeah.

Play it by ear
when I get up there.

That knife edge,
it will be

your point of reference
the entire time.

Just gravitate
your front foot towards...

Copy.

Okay.

Oh, universe...

Strong.

I can.
No, I can.

Oh, my God.
That was perfect!

All right!

Holy

Whoo!

It was fun.

Thanks, Tim.

When I heard that
Elena pulled it,

I mean, I just
was blown away.

I don't know. It's just
a huge accomplishment.

And the fact
that she is a female

just makes it that much
cooler and clear

that when Elena sets
her mind on something,

as she's done
with freeriding,

she is a freak.

And there's
very few people

at that level
of riding.

That was so fun.

I've never
been up this way.

Wow.

Dropping.

We are in Pemberton,
British Columbia.

I'm really excited
to be posted up

out here with
Jake Blauvelt.

We were kind of
intertwined

in circles of
my competitive career

and, you know,
as I grew up

and he kind of stepped away
from competitions

and into backcountry
snowboarding.

I followed his career
and was always so impressed.

And you could just
really see his creativity
shining through.

Those
human-eating holes.

-What a beauty.
-Mmm-hmm.

Wow.

Wow.

I think this has
completely changed

my perspective
on snowboarding

and what is possible

and where I want to
take my snowboarding
in the future.

It's exciting to kind of
hone in on an idea

and kind of see
a door open

and just really step
into the mountains

and some silence

and get back to
the roots of snowboarding.

Whoo!

-That was huge.
-That was so good.

All right, man.
Let's get down there.

-Hey.
-Yeah.

Yeah!

-Wow.
-Whoo-hoo!

Hell, yeah.

I think
the really cool
thing about Jake

and what I've loved
about being in
the mountains with him

is just his eye
for being able
to draw lines

down mountains
really creatively

is unlike anyone
I've ridden with.

So to see that and learn
from that first-hand

is, like,
really special.

Okay. Dropping.

Whoo! Holy fuck.

Yeah, Elena.

Yeah!

Whoa!

Oh!

Whoo! Whoo-hoo!

Looks good!

Whoo!

Whoa.

Holy shit.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow. Wow.

-- It's on now.
-- Pretty cool.
Almost got you, sorry.

Every step
of the way, I'm learning
something new.

That's what's so
exciting about it,

is that you don't know
what you're gonna find

and it really brings out
the creativity and,
and the freedom

to, like, see the mountain
in different ways.

And it really just
connects you

to that present moment,

and I think
gives you insight

to where you're
supposed to be,

and you stop living
so much in your head

and more in your heart,

and really more
in just what's
in front of you.

which I mean, I think
that that's what
we're all striving for.

Yes!

Yes!

What a wild style!

-I mean, sanely.

Hey, guys.

-Hey.
Everybody's okay?

Yeah, everything good.
We are very careful.

Thank you for
looking out for
our well-being,

comma, I hope
we get to
meet again.

San Diego Police,
take note, for God's sakes.

Whoo! We're doing it.

Someone pulls up
next to me,

"You're on fire!"

And I look down
and there's just flames

ripping out my exhaust.

Jason, just be careful.

There's a road
at the back.

There's a road.

-- Are you okay?
-- Yeah, I think so.

-- Seriously?
-- Yeah.

Just like
any raffle, baby,

you gotta be present
to win your prize.

Oh.

Whoo!
Oh, violent.

-- Jesus.
-- I'm okay.

Are there any roads
down there?

No. No roads.

-Yeah.
-Whoo!
