"I wanted to focus all of my efforts on filming into one project," Wallisch says. "This year it's a great opportunity to put together something I'm truly proud of."

While filming for the project, the crew had a few hits trying to get a quick photo before they were told there's no skiing allowed at this cross-country ski area in Utah.

After a few tests at the University of Utah, it was game time to finally hit this quad kinked elbow handrail at the U.S. Ski Team Center of Excellence. Two years after it was put in, Wallisch was permitted to de-knob the rail.

Says Wallisch, seen here at the U.S. Ski Team's Center of Excellence, “I’ll be more involved in picking out the shots, trips, features, and planning. The whole process will be really fun.”

After two days of shooting at the Center of Excellence, it was time to pack up and find the next one. Wallisch locks down his rail until the next storm.

Kyle Decker (left) will be the director, cinematographer, and editor of the project. "There are high expectations for this project," Decker said. "If the season runs smoothly, I'm confident Wallisch and I can meet those."
