I've not voted for this movie because I might be biased.
I worked in the Rogers Pass, drove through and shopped in Revelstoke, and was born and grew up in British Columbia.
This is the story of an alpiner. Swiss-born, transplanted to the wonderful snow and mountains of British Columbia.
A guide. With an engineer's level of thoroughness.
And snow. Lots and lots of snow.
Railways try for the lowest route through mountains. Still, the Rogers CP Rail camp got 10 feet of snow a year. I was the chief shoveler, otherwise known as a Signal Maintainer's helper. But I liked shoveling. It kept me warm when it was 40 below.
Where this family live, and guide, they seem to get two or three times as much snow.
Worth a watch, even if you don't love mountains. Or snow.
The credits have rolled. I return to my warmer world. Changed a bit.
Best, Floyd
