Series: Embedded

This November, pro skier Mike Douglas will kiss his family goodbye, shoulder his skis and camera bag and embark on a never-before assignment – to stand watch on the Peak of Whistler Mountain waiting for winter to arrive. Armed only with his computer, his camera and a sleeping bag, the “Godfather of Freeskiing” will document the Inside Story of a mountain moving into winter. Find out if he has what it takes to make it up there on his own.
