John Muir is credited with saying, “I’d rather be in the mountains thinking about God, than in a church thinking about mountains.” The first episode of DPS Cinematic’s The Shadow Campaign Volume V take this quote quite literally. Press play and witness an experience that starts at a church in a rainy mountain town in Switzerland to skiing powder on some of the biggest peaks in the Alps.

The only description DPS sent along with this one is “A lone skier arrives in town, only to find abysmally wet and soggy conditions. Seeking respite from the rain, he finds solace and redemption in the unlikeliest of places.” Based on the snow quality, I’d say the whole team found redemption.
