A highly anticipated new film from snowboarding legend Xavier de le Rue, chronicling his latest adventure across Antarctica with his teenage daughter by his side, is now available.
Directed by Jérôme Tanon and produced in collaboration with The North Face, In a Lifetime is 44 minutes of breathtaking landscapes, epic lines, climatic conversations and family drama.
The film, which you can watch below, follows the family who recently launched a new range of ski equipment with The North Face, as they navigate five days through some of the most dangerous waters in the world to reach a line that Xavier skied 12 years ago. Although he said he would never do it again, he is back to relive the experience with his brother.
Meanwhile, Mila, Xavier's 18-year-old daughter, a freeride prodigy like her father and uncle, comes to learn big mountain skiing through fire. We recently met as a family to discuss the adventure, and Xavier told us that when it came to skiing, he had no concerns about Mila's abilities.
“I have great confidence in her and it’s funny, I’m not afraid when I see her skiing because I know how she reacts and I’m very confident about that,” says Xavier about the adventure .
“The cool thing is, on a trip like this, she could have gone downhill, but she pulled herself together.”
