I think our tent might be too lightweight... We are in Norway preparing for glacier overnight trip to film @arctic_lines . Maybe these @samaya_equipment tents could just fly to our basecamp 😅

It's now 9:33 AM, we have been awake for the whole night out in the mountains. Feeling pretty dizzy right now, but I think we definitely scored. Here is an iphone clip of @anttiautti ripping his second line of the night #arcticlines

A rare clip of freeride filmmaker skiing! Didn't even take my camera or drone to the mountains. Felt somehow different with the light backpack 😂 Maybe I need to do this more.. 🚁 @stuunanen

Now playing on YouTube — RIDE TO RIDE 🎬 Is there such a thing as a “perfect” place for a splitboard trip by bike — one that maximizes riding while staying fully human-powered? 10 days. 7 mountains. 300 km. 10,500 m ↑ 
These stats from @hennapalosaari and @karenemiliae ’s journey through the Sunnmøre Alps on Norway’s west coast suggest there just might be. From amazing bike rides into high valleys, to scenic campspots, and scoring late-spring powder and firn — this trip was a reminder to simply get out there, no matter the weather, and lose ourselves in nature’s ultimate playground. Watch the full film now on @hennapalosaari YouTube. Film & edit @mpkarlin

One of the main project of the year is out! Winter in ice is a documentary about Juho and Sohvi (and Nova) who spent last winter in a sailboat frozen in ice in the wilderness of Greenland. I got invited to the boat and spent a week there documenting suprisingly ordinary life in the middle of nowhere. This one has been a massive but very enjoyable project. One of my favorites so far! You can find the full film from YouTube ✌🏼 #greenland #alluringarctic #sailing

Excited to share - The Snow Country. A film made in Minamiuonuma, Japan’s hidden freeride gem just 1.5 hours from Tokyo. Now playing on my YouTube channel. Last winter we explored what happens when pro snowboarding meets guiding, when chasing perfect lines turns into creating meaningful experiences. A story of friendship, discovery, and riding with no ego. Pure joy, pure snow. Link in bio Big thanks 🙏🏼 • @nagaitakumi and all the locals for the incredible support. • @muikamachi_hutte for the hospitality • All of you freeride enthusiasts who shared turns with us while making the film!

It has been a great two weeks of filming @arctic_lines with @anttiautti and two French mountain guides @picaherry and @laurentbibollet . I have seen many things while filming freeriding, but these guys and their quite alpinist approach has been really on a different level. It has been really cool to document their style of climbing and riding. I have never seen riding like this before. The film will be out in the fall and it's gonna be a good one! Easily the steepest climbs (and lines) that this project has seen. Thank you guys! Also special thanks to @stuunanen for filming this with me. Truly a professional 💪🏼

Some are dreaming and some are already living their dreams! Juho and Sohvi (and Nova the dog) are living full time on this boat and spending this winter in ice in the vast wilderness of Greenland. I visited them for a week and documented their (suprisingly ordinary) live in a remote and wild enviroment. Movie is coming out later this year, couple of videos for Juho's YouTube channel @alluringarctic a lot sooner. Thank you for having me! This was a pleasant adventure ❄️
