Across America there are resorts that you’ve likely never heard of. These resorts are not owned by Vail, Alterra or Powdr, they are owned by independent individuals and families with a fiercely loyal local population of skiers. In Pursuit of Soul features 12 of these resorts from across the country that take it back to basics with an authentic culture and common love for the sport of skiing.

Trailer embedded below and the complete film can be found here – In Pursuit of Soul. In addition, shorter episodes on each independent mountain featured can be found here – In Pursuit of Soul, Mountain Shorts.
