VARIABLE chronicles the 10 year journey of two brothers as they attempt to backcountry ski the Adirondack 46ers – a rugged collection of 46 mountains rising to 4,000ft and higher – in a quest to become the first to ski all 81 of the classic high peaks of the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains. The duo face an uphill battle skiing to the summits, navigating through complex terrain of ice, rock, thick trees, and a seesaw of harsh and unpredictable winter conditions.
Physical injury in the mountains, a midnight rescue across thin lake ice, and the tragic loss of a spouse, all test the brothers’ commitment. In an evolving landscape where climate change has the final say on what form winter takes, the two find themselves racing against the clock, and a disappearing snowpack, to finish skiing the last peaks before the decade-long goal melts beneath their skis.
We hope to see you there!
