All In - Part One
14 October 2015
Each new season brings opportunity for success as well as failure. The path is uncertain, and the destination is unknown, but the goal is always constant: to search and discover the right place at the right time. Some may call it luck while others recognize that fortunes are nurtured by preparation and perseverance. The willingness to drop everything on a moment’s notice and travel great distances without hesitation only strengthens the conviction, the mission, and the person. At times there may be hardship and injury to overcome. However patience is the foundation of clarity when all variables align and, for a precious few moments in time, you are allowed to follow your instinct and commit. Suddenly, there is no turning back and the decision has been make to go ALL-IN.
ALL-IN Part 1: Focuses on athletes, Sam Cohen and Corey Felton, as they discover that the best plans are never actually planned.

Blessed with stable conditions in an otherwise notoriously volatile snowpack, the crew methodically warms-up before tackling a number of legitimate big mountain descents. ”This is all part of the process,” admits Sam Cohen, "...you got to work your way up the ladder, cause every turn is training for Alaska."
