Aikyam | Faction Skis | 4K

Aikyam, ऐक्यम् - ’Oneness’ in Sanskrit, is a fitting term for Vasu Sojitra’s ambition to understand himself and his family heritage in a deeper sense as he travels to ski in his home country of India for the first time. Gulmarg in India’s northern Kashmiri Province is the nation’s sole ski resort - where many skiers Indian and otherwise, come together in the plentiful snowfall this area receives in the Western Himalayas to pursue the fall line. Indian-American professional freeskier and Faction athlete Vasu Sojitra - one of the world’s leading adaptive free-skiers - after discovering the beautiful and burgeoning community of local Indians who find solace and purpose in skiing, as he does, a world away from his home in Montana, sets his sights on continuing to grow his roots in the unique community of individuals who call Gulmarg their home mountain. 👇 Our interview with Vasu: Starring Vasu Sojitra Directed by Max Lowe Cinematography by Max Lowe & Chris Murphy Produced by Nick Boak & Max Lowe Executive Producers: Hanne Davis & Henrik Lampert Edited by Sam Hedlund
