Have you ever seen someone paraglide into a big-mountain line? Our friends over at Smith Optics just released one of the most visually breathtaking snowboard edits to grace the Internet in the past few months. In “Life Beyond Walls,” Xavier De Le Rue and Ralph Backstrom set up camp at the base of the grand Alaska Mountain Range in order to ride steep, burly lines. In their usual fashion they took full advantage of their surroundings, and the end result of their efforts is truly mesmerizing.
