The Golden Row is a ski traverse in Tromsø, Norway, that consists of three peaks and three ski descents — and it ain’t a cakewalk by any measure. That’s what drew extreme backcountry skier and filmmaker Nikolai Schirmer to attempt it.
In the winter of 2024/25, he and three other skiers set out to complete this infamously brutal ski route. It claimed drones, ski bindings, and even several of the athletes along the way.
Only two of the original four completed the route. But the rewards for those who did were huge: massive descents, incredible powder, and bragging rights that won’t expire for the rest of their lives.
