Arnaud Cottet

Time of My Life is a movie documentary project born and initiate in spring 2011 in West Switzerland. Ski, skateboard and snowboard movies are usually made to impress and show only one aspect of these sports: impressive tricks and bluebird skies. Skiing and snowboarding are much more than that. With this film project project, we want to explore the back stages of the show and wish to give a more complete and authentic vision of the riders experience. The movie guideline is to catch and film what is behind skiing, snowboard and skating, what is behind these passions.

Arnaud Cottet, Mathieu Schaer and Jochen Mesle, accompanied by Jules Guarneri go for a week of camping on the Saleinaz Glacier, located on the Swiss side of the massif du Mont-Blanc. Their goal : riding the faces around them, eating fresh food and most importantly, findinga story to tell in their movie. Up there, only a few hours from home and at the same time lost in complete wilderness, they interrogate themselves about this activity they’ve repeated for years ; creating ski and snowboard films.
