Jumbo Wild documents the epic tug of war – between community members, First Nations and conservationists, resort developers and politicians – over the future of the Jumbo Valley, where a large-scale proposed ski resort threatens the rich wilderness of British Columbia’s Purcell Range.
Directed by Nick Waggoner and Sweetgrass Productions, this hour long feature film is set against a backdrop of incredible backcountry ski and snowboard footage, Jumbo Wild features unprecedented documentation of all sides of a divisive issue bringing the passionate local fight to protect the Jumbo Valley to life for a global audience for the first time.
