The Redline Traverse: 40 Years On The Sierra’s Highest Route
Jenna Kane and Greg Cunningham complete the Sierra Nevada’s most notorious yet famously undocumented ski traverse and explore its history.
Patience, determination, and a serendipitous series of events allows skiers Jenna Kane and Greg Cunningham to repeat the rare feat, in their own style, after a record-setting winter in May of 2023. Deeply respected by the most astute Sierra ski historians, completing the Redline in one push requires intimate knowledge of the Range, an ample snowpack, an extended period of stable weather, and a willingness to stay in the high country for several weeks.
Through the eyes of the pioneers and the sole person to repeat the feat since, the film follows two Kirkwood based skiers as they draw their own Redline 40 years after its original completion.
