Inaccessible: Three Athletes, One Landscape, and the Public Lands That Connect Us

Smartwool •

Some places don’t invite adventure.

Inaccessible is a film born from that truth. Set in Montana’s Crazy Mountains, these Smartwool® snow sports athletes discover that the checkerboard landscape in the Crazies makes access more complicated than just finding the right line. These mountains aren’t always welcoming, and access here carries steep consequences for trespassing. Using onX’s digital mapping technology, this small crew navigates backcountry conditions, uncertain access, and the idea that landlocked public lands should matter to all of us.
