Unique shapes, no two the same, formed by the action of water and frost. The water that once ran from the summits in torrents and waterfalls is immobilized for a few weeks. The thing is to be there, in time, just at the moment when they become solid, just before they return to water. A question of balance. Around seven top-level climbers who represent all the richness of the activity, these images will highlight different techniques and different approaches. Although the athletic performance is impressive, it is there only to emphasize the dazzling shapes, the warmth of friendships, the stories of teamwork.

Born from scattered conversations, gleaned memories, and the whims of a season, Cold Calls traverses the moods of the white world: storms in Whistler, Japanese powder, Norwegian vastness, rare sunny spells in Alaska. Each call becomes a story, funny, serious, or simply human. In the end, nothing was really planned, but everything seems to fall into place. In doing so, it questions the reasons that drive us to act this way and reveals the inexplicable joy that skiing brings.
