Exploring the Spirituality of Skiing on Sacred Grounds

Not only are the mountains on which we ride a pure and natural source of joy for so many of us, but they are also a conduit to a rich ancestral lineage of skiers who for generations have sent the same lines we send. It is easy to get caught up in the buckets of fun that skiing is for us; Sacred Grounds is a healthy reminder of the spiritual significance that the beautiful mountains we call home have in myriad cultures across the world. From the dreamy pillow fields in British Columbia to the vast tree lines in Japan, this film shows us how to respect and love the terrain we enjoy and not take it for granted. Kye Petersen centers his focus on the spiritual love for skiing in all facets of the sport. Through his effort to tap into the profound lineage of skiing in two sacred areas, he gained new perspectives on ski design, exploration, experimentation, and creativity. Lessons that will stay with him for the rest of his life. None more impactful than to travel your path with respect and to stay save on your journey.
