Every pro skier has a stomping ground, a place where they cut their teeth as kids. But the glitz and glamor of pro skiing life often leads jet-setting pros to neglect the places they came from.

In this video from Arc’teryx watch as these three pioneer wild and new adventures right in their own backyard.
