Four female snowboarders, two filmmakers, and a guide. One self-organized expedition into the remote Alaskan backcountry. And none of them had met in person before.
The Underdogs goes beyond lines. The film tells the real story behind them: the logistical chaos, the endless wait for weather windows, navigating avalanche conditions during a tough April season, and the emotional highs and lows that came with it all. It’s about how strangers became a team.
Honest, raw, and sprinkled with a good dose of humor, this film captures what it really takes to chase a big dream into unknown terrain — and why the best stories often come from a little (or a lot) of chaos.
