Their objective was not an existing terrain park: the four spent a month in northern Norway climbing into the mountains and shaping their own backcountry jumps above the fjords. Caillet had spent years in slopestyle parks and contest lines; in Lyngen, the same freestyle approach had to begin with the approach, the snow surface and the work of building each feature by hand....
