Watch Short Film ‘The Gift’ with Canadian Mountain Legend Chic Scott

Chic Scott is a Banff-based author, skier and climber who has inspired countless adventurers with his stories. In this short film by Andrew Querner, Scott talks about his adventures and what the mountains have to offer. In an era of fast-paced and drone-shot videos, The Gift reminds us that a good story teller is often all you need.

“Mountain climbing is a very difficult sport to communicate and to understand because it’s all about style – it’s not about getting to the top of the mountain – it’s about how you got there,” Said Chic Scott. Read a short 2016 interview with Scott by Joanna Croston here.
