CC HAMONIXa handful of times. I told them ‘I don’t thinkI’m your girl, I have absolutely no experience inthe backcountry, I don’t know what to expect,I don’t even have the right equipment.’MH: This was my first time filming withWME, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect.I had met the other athletes before, but I hadnever skied with them. I was surprised to findout that Erin had never been in the backcountrybefore! But filming is a little like ski racing in thesense that when you’re filming, you have to perform,and you might have only one shot at gettingit right so you have to be really focused.TOP: A Grands Montets ski patroller practices high-angle rescue techniques with theChamonix Valley in the backdrop.

OPPOSITE: Patrollers take in the view.On backcountry skiing vs. ski racing:EM: I think racing helped me adapt to the backcountrymore easily. Racing built the backbone ofmy skiing and made me a technically sound skier.It also helped with safety—not so much avalanchesafety, but I know how to assess risk. That cameup time and time again. I’d be nervous to go downsomething, and I had to trust that I knew how toski. I raced on ice, on skinny, sharp skis, and I hadto have faith that was enough knowledge.MH: Racers are used to speed, and really goodtechnique from a racing background definitelymakes it easier to adjust to conditions in the backcountry.Yes, you have to learn new techniques,but having a high comfort level on the snow helpswith confidence, form, and picking up new skills.28 SKI MAGAZINE SPECIAL ISSUE TIMELESS WARRENMILLER.COM
