Snow Lords: The Series
In Brenta Dolomites, Trentino, every day, the “Snow Lords” challenge nature and time to successfully open the winter season.
At the heart of this realm of struggle lies Madonna di Campiglio, the “Queen of the Dolomites”, a giant with more than 150 km of slopes, 100 ski lifts, and great desire to be the best. In the area surrounding Madonna di Campiglio there are three other ski locations that do all they can to steal attention from the “Queen”. And in this race against time and nature there’s no room for mistakes. Through four episodes and the viewpoints of four individuals and their respective teams, THE SNOW LORDS will accompany us behind the scenes, showing us their dangerous and complicated task, where a split second in their timing can be crucial.
