8 saisons de freeride, 30 amis perdus : pourquoi il faut repenser la sécurité en montagne

Dominique Perret is one of the pioneers of freeride skiing.

But behind 28 seasons in the mountains lies a darker reality: the loss of nearly 30 friends in avalanches.

In this first video, Dominique looks back with clarity and emotion on his career, his realisations at the end of his career, and the moment when he understood that freeriding had to change his approach to risk.

He shares:

– what the mountains gave him… and took away
– why danger has long been trivialised in freeriding
– how these losses transformed his view of the sport
– and why he felt the need to give back to the mountains through a project focused on passing on his knowledge

A powerful, human video that is essential for understanding the origins of WEMountain and the need for a new culture of safety.
