Freeskier Magazine Interview
Thibaud Duchosal for Freeskier Magazine
"The silence takes you out of time and you lose your sense of your own significance."
Thibaud Duchosal for Freeskier Magazine
A glimpse at the article from Freeskier by Sam Taggart.
In Patagonia, wind is the reigning force: it drives the weather, pushing clouds, storms and fog in and out faster than hikers, climbers and the rest can adapt. Getting caught in the crosshairs of an unexpected storm is a commonality in the southernmost tip of South America; yet, Patagonia also offers a rugged, truly untamed and unexplored wilderness, ideal for the modern day adventurer.
In The Empire Of Wind, we have the chance to follow Arc’teryx athletes Joi Hoffmann and Thibaud Duchosal as they embark on a journey to the end of the world in company of local gaucho skier Lucas Swieykowski. Facing the animosity of Mother Nature, this group aims to ski amongst some of the most stunning mountains on the planet while battling some of the most formidable circumstances imaginable.
A passion project captured in such stunning detail doesn’t come around too often, so we caught up with one of the stars of the movie, Thibaud Duschosal, to gain a bit more insight as to why the crew chose Patagonia as their destination. Go ahead, read the interview, enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more on the release.
