If it's easy, it's not fun. Filming and storytelling with Aurelie Morrison-Gonin

Beyond the Mountains podcast

My guest today is Aurelie Morrison-Gonin

She is a multi-talented mountain sports storyteller. She is a producer, director, photographer, camerawoman, writer and editor. She has worked on the Freeride World Tour, the Summer and Winter Olympic games, and is an independent storyteller for many mountain brands, athletes and magazines.

In a world of high drama, high stakes and fast action sports, Aurelie thrives on the pressure to capture the athletes doing what they do best, defying gravity and creating winning lines in the snow.

She enjoys showing the human element behind the athletes. Stripping away the race numbers and sponsor logos to reveal the real people behind the mountain sports we love.

She is not afraid to get uncomfortable in harsh and dangerous conditions to get the shot, and she is also not afraid to deviate from the plan if a different and more interesting story is unfolding.

This was a fun interview and I want to thank Aurelie for making the time to sit down with me before she went out skiing in the mountains of Chamonix before she made her way back to her second home in Crested Butte California or travelling to another event hotel room, or mountain huts.

Hello friends, I am your host Ashley Pettit welcome to another episode of the Beyond the Mountains Podcast. Where I talk to people who live, work and play in the mountains.

Let's start the intro music and get on with the show. Allons-y
