This is a must-watch today! Professional skier Cody Cirillo and adventure journalist Matthew Tufts completed a 1,700km (1,057-mile) cycle-to-ski journey around Iceland. They documented the 35-day expedition in their new film “A Hundred Words for Wind.“
Cody and Matthew biked through blizzards and gale-force winds to reach remote skiing locations, capturing 800-meter couloir descents and untouched mountain faces.
The film combines bikepacking with freeride skiing. It shows how the athletes navigated Iceland’s harsh weather conditions to find brief opportunities for skiing.
Cirillo and Tufts shot roughly 90% of the footage themselves, creating a self-documented narrative about persistence and friendship in challenging environments.
“A Hundred Words for Wind” explores Icelandic wind lore and its cultural significance, all while following a minimal-impact approach to expedition travel. The film premieres on Cody Cirillo’s YouTube channel today, December 18, at 8 am MST.
