The story of a pass worth keeping public

When the lifts stopped in 2003, Berthoud Pass didn't empty out — it filled up with skiers and riders who wanted to keep this terrain open to everyone. This short film follows that community and the free avalanche education that keeps it going. Produced by Flylow Gear and KGB Productions for the 'Peaks & Passages' series.
