Solitaire journeys alongside skiers, snowborders and telemark skiers as they uncover landscapes never before visited on film.


From These Most Inhospitable Of Lands, A Handful Of Drifters Emerge......
In the high desert of South America, winter takes hold, devouring bleached bones and abandoned shacks. Born in the spires of Argentina's legendary Las Lenas, a lonely two-year journey begins through an abandoned world. Wandering the length of a continent from Peru's Cordillera Blanca to Chilean Patagonia, Solitaire journeys alongside skiers, snowborders and telemark skiers as they uncover landscapes never before visited on film.


Nick Waggoner
Nick Waggoner was born in a back-alley dumpster in New York City and quickly learned how to talk himself out of arrest and into opportunity. Shyness and modesty were not rewarded in the big city, and Nick lends his urban-tempered initiative to Sweetgrass Productions as Director/Producer. Behind the lens, Nick uses his Colorado College BA in Documentary Film to tell stories through poetic rhythm and soulful narrative. poetic rhythm and soulful narrative.
