Watch Story of Canadian Ski Legend Dag Aabye

At 76 years old, Dag Aabye is a living Canadian ski legend.

Existing entirely off-the-grid and without the trappings of modern day society, he is closer to freedom than most could ever imagine.

If that isn’t enough, he dedicates his life to living out his greatest passion, training for a 125km ultra-marathon with which he holds the record for the oldest person to ever complete the race.

Aabye is the subject of this short documentary by Vancouver-based Brick Films, which travelled to Vernon last summer in search of Aabye.

Aabye now spends his time building trails in the woods for others to enjoy. “If you work on yourself, you don’t have time to talk about other people,” said Aabye.
