The Way Back

The Way Back is a short documentary about three women who travel by horse into the Wyoming Range, carrying their gear as they go, to ski three alpine peaks. The film centres on that journey and on the group's relationship with the land, framed around a respect for western heritage and the restorative effect of time spent in nature. The trip itself, with its pack animals, remote terrain and ski objectives, provides the film's main undertaking.

The documentary runs 31 minutes and was released on 22 November 2024. It was directed by Amy David and produced by Teton Gravity Research, a company associated with mountain and adventure filmmaking. It is a documentary rather than a narrative feature, and its short length places it closer to a self-contained expedition film than to a full-length release.

The film does not appear to have been positioned as a broad theatrical title; it belongs to the adventure and outdoor documentary tradition tied to its production company. No further details on the cast or individual subjects are documented here.
