Ski Peru is the story of two skiersâ dream of descending the untamed slopes of Huascaran, although maybe 'Ski Peru and die' would be a more appropriate title given the tragic climax to Peter Chrzanowskiâs Peruvian odyssey. Filmed long before todayâs adrenaline charged ski videos on heavy 16mm movie cameras there is no heavy rock soundtrack, no helicopters, no roboskiers mainlining powder at Mach 5.0. It is a slow moving film that explores manâs relationship with the mountain and what it is to ski into the unknown.
