Telling sports stories to a wide audience like NBC and CBC while staying authentic to the core snowboarding scene is a fine line to ride—but leave it to Canada’s snowboarding icon, Mark McMorris, to do it perfectly.

For 12 days, we followed Mark and five of the world’s best snowboarders as they went all in—pushing harder, sharing raw moments, and breaking through their limits to prepare for the biggest stage in snowboarding.
