Protest Releases Pachamama – An Award Winning Freeride Adventure Film

Pachamama is a breathtaking freeride film from our teamrider Camille Armand presented by Protest Sportswear. It follows pro snowboarder Camille and his crew on a 5,000 km journey through Patagonia, pushing the limits of adventure and mountain exploration.

Now available on YouTube, Pachamama has earned international acclaim and multiple awards. If you love breathtaking landscapes, extreme sports, and raw adventure, this is one you won’t want to miss!

Pachamama is a film featuring teamrider, Camille Armand, a Freeride World Tour pro-snowboarder who thrives on exploring the most challenging and remote mountains. In this adventure, he joins his friends Julian Casanova and Pierre Hourticq—both mountain guides and extreme skiers—for an unforgettable journey through Patagonia.

Inspired by Julian’s stories of his homeland, the team embarks on a 5000km road trip through some of the most untouched landscapes on Earth, seeking out extreme lines and raw adventure. While their skills and experience prepare them for big descents, the unpredictable snow conditions in South America's high peaks prove as capricious as the wind itself.
