Wolverine Cirque—one of the steepest and most dangerous ski runs in North America—is the eponymous backdrop of this brand-new original short debuting on Tuesday, July 9, by award-winning author of nine novels Joseph Olshan.
Sam and Mike, top-notch skiers, hike miles off path to face a harrowing headwall of snow, a sheer descent that challenges their skill, their endurance, and ultimately, their ability to survive.
At the heart of the story are Sam’s painful and poignant memories of a complicated and doomed love affair with Luc, a Division I soccer player struggling with his identity. Sam begins to realize that his attempt to master Wolverine Cirque is nothing more than a fruitless effort to preserve his youth.
