“As we first entered the market with the Ikon Pass, we wanted to pay tribute to those active dads who are passing on their love of the mountains to their kids. Stept was the ideal partner to help tell that special story using our mountains and the snow as the backdrop.” said Erik Forsell, Chief Marketing Officer of Alterra Mountain Company.

“At Stept, we all grew up skiing with our families and understand the love of the mountains. So, it was an ideal fit to tell this special story and help grow the Ikon Pass Community through film,” said Nick Martini, Founder, Stept.
