For Nicholas Wolken, turning is more than snowboarding’s foundation. It’s the simplest expression of what riding is all about. And from going pro to shaping snowboards made for turns, he’s spent much of his life chasing the deep feelings that come with carving on snow. Sure, the act of turning might be simple.

Seeking South follows trail runner Keisuke Minami as he takes on the fastest-known-time (FKT) challenge of the Grand Randonée 10 (GR10)—a grueling 914 km journey across the Pyrenees in southern France, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The route typically takes 45-60 days to complete, but Minami sets out to finish in just over 9 days.

What came out wasn’t exactly planned, but it felt right

With its ever-changing snow and weather conditions, winter in New Zealand is often described as a roller coaster. Forecasts call for a snow dump that then turns to rain, ski fields are accessed by treacherous 4WD tracks, and plans change by the minute. Skiing in New Zealand is a real “Fickle Business”.
