Georgian mountain guide Nick Phaliani and pro skier and Snowmads mastermind Fabian Lentsch go on their first freeride skiing mission together setting up camp in a new zone in Georgia, which hasn’t been skied before and is nothing short of freeride paradise.

After having met back in 2016 when Fabi visited Georgia filming for the first Snowmads film both, Nick and Fabi, have gone through big transitionsin their lives. Inspired by the Snowmads Nick has learnt to ski and becomea certified mountain guide in just 3 years. Fabi has transitioned from beinga freeride line hunting pro skier, to more and more also becoming a bridgebuilder between cultures and a mentor to others like the young Snowmadsriders Konsti and Gabriel, whom he takes along on this unique, couragous and inspiring travel.

As the group conquers new lines in mindblowing terrain on this mission it all feels a bit like a new found paradise. However paradise is threatened when young Snowmads rider Gabriel chooses a consequential no fall line on his snowboard. Nick has to prove himself as the main guide of the trip, while Fabi has to keep up with feeling responsibility as Gabriel’s mentor.

In the middle of threatened peace all over the world, this is also a film about how to find inner peace no matter where you are.The group calls this imaginary place without borders and full of peace and love KASTANISTAN.
