Presentation:

Beyond the Summit, Into the Line

For ski and snowboard mountaineers Christopher Logan and Matt Ruta, the mountains aren’t about summits, they’re about the line. From committing ski descents in the Canadian Rockies to wind-scoured faces and towering spines in Patagonia, their partnership has been forged by long approaches, human-powered ascents, and steep terrain where mistakes are not easily forgiven. This is a journey defined by calculated risk, hard lessons, and relentless effort. Join them for a raw, honest conversation, backed by striking photos and films, about commitment, consequence, and the reward of dropping in where few ever do.
