The north face of Trollvasstind looms like a bad idea you can’t stop thinking about. Way up on the Lyngen Peninsula in northern Norway, it first got under Swedish freeskier Jacob Wester’s skin back in the spring of 2017. No beta. No real plan. Hardly any cameras. Just a raw first descent in one of the most legendary ski zones on the planet. Then the line went quiet, untouched, unfilmed, and mostly forgotten, for nearly eight years.

Fast forward to spring 2025. The stars align, the snow snaps into place, and the face is finally back in condition. This time Jacob isn’t rolling solo. He links up with Italian skiers and snowboarders Jakob and Matthias Weger, chasing a repeat of the objective with sharper tools, deeper experience, and a clear vision: ski it fast, steep, and free, Wester style, and bring the story home.

Because sooner or later, someone always asks the question: why? Why flirt with exposure, risk, and consequence in places this wild? This film takes a swing at the answer, diving into the pull of adventure, the grind of personal progression, and that electric moment when your own tracks carve down an impossibly steep wall, miles from anyone’s comfort zone.

This is Return to the Why.
