Born and raised in British Columbia, Christina “Lusti” Lustenberger is one of the world’s most accomplished ski mountaineers. A former Canadian Alpine Ski Team racer and 2006 Olympian, she shifted her focus from World Cup courses to the steep, wild faces of big mountains. Now based in Golden and Chamonix and an ACMG-certified ski guide, Lusti has carved a reputation for precision and boldness on some of the planet’s most committing lines—from first descents in the Selkirks and Baffin Island to groundbreaking expeditions on Great Trango Tower and Mount Robson. Humble and meticulous, she continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible on skis while inspiring the next generation of mountain athletes.
Join Christina “Lusti” Lustenberger and Guillaume Pierret for an exclusive conversation following the film. Fresh off their groundbreaking first ski descent of Mount Robson, they’ll share behind-the-scenes stories from the climb, the descent, and the years of preparation it took to achieve what many thought impossible. The Q&A will also explore the history of Robson’s legendary south face, the fine line between risk and reward in ski mountaineering, and what it means to stand at the forefront of mountain adventure. Audience members will have the chance to ask their own questions and hear directly from the team who made history.
