At the end of the day, snowboarding is really about having a fun time with your friends. So whether these guys find a fun line to ride or not, they are having a good time in the search for the elusive Upper Peninsula Backcountry. Backcountry snowboarding is growing in popularity as people are getting tired of high prices and huge crowds at the ski resort. Snowboarders are also finding that the backcountry offers more of a connection to nature, which some find very appealing. “Backcountry” for the sake of this movie simply means anywhere in nature that is not within bounds of a ski resort.
