Winter of Wells: The DocumentaryIf you are unfamiliar with the Winter of Wells webisodes then you have been missing out for the last two years. After taking the freeski scene by storm, this autumn the makers released an in-depth documentary about this ski-crazed family. Now Winter of Wells: The Documentary is available for download at the iTunes store.
Jossi and Byron Wells have been part of the freeski scene for so long that it’s hard to believe they are still so young and their extraordinary rise to stardom is almost overlooked. Jossi is reigning Dew Tour champion and winner of the AFP World Ranking in the previous season – undoubtedly one of the biggest names of the sport at only 21 years old. His outstanding career was enabled by his ski-crazed family, which paved the way not with prosperity, but with never ending passion and dedication.
Tim Pierce, who has been producer and cameraman for all 22 episodes of Winter of Wells, captures the story of the Wells family with great images, but even more so with sensible interviews and cutbacks. Parents Stacey and Bruce, who have passed their great passion for skiing – father Bruce works for the ski patrol at home in Wanaka – on to their sons, are as much in the centre of attention as Jossi and Byron. Younger brothers Jackson and Beau-James are also getting their well-deserved share of the show.
Winter of Wells: The Documentary offers a deep insight into the sometimes-complicated life of this unique ski family. It’s a documentation of some of the best freestyle skiers in the world, but even more it’s a movie about the love for skiing and the wonderful things it can affect – a movie that a true ski fan can’t afford to miss!
