When adventure calls, you’d better pick up the phone or you might just miss the opportunity of a lifetime. In spring 2025, pro skier Amie Engerbretson woke up to the kind of text message that we all dream of getting: “Can you get to Alaska today?? We have an extra spot in the bird for you …”
Engerbretson didn’t hesitate. “Oh hell yeah, I’m in,” she responded.
With less than 12 hours to go, she packed her things, got on a plane, and made the trip to Great Frontier. She described what happened next as “48 hours of pure bliss.” Two days of endless powder runs on untouched Alaskan slopes.
The short film Daydream highlights her journey and the spontaneous decision that turned into one of the best ski trips of her season. It’s about saying “Yes” when opportunity knocks, and the rewards you get to reap when you do.
Runtime: 3:55 minutes

Alaska always delivers on the dream of untamed adventure. The video captures the thrill of spontaneous travel perfectly.
Anyone else feel like packing their bags after watching this?
It’s insane how such a quick decision can lead to such unforgettable experiences.
Love the message in this video: the world is full of opportunities, but you have to act fast.
Life’s too short to pass up opportunities like this. Dress warm and go!
Absolutely. The worst thing you can do is say no to adventure.
I’m not a skier, but this video makes me wish I was! The scenery alone is worth the trip.
I’m fascinated by how quickly this trip came together. It must have been an unplanned logistical marvel.
This spontaneous trip is a reminder that sometimes the best moments happen on a whim.
48 hours of pure bliss sounds unreal. I bet the crew had a blast filming and skiing in that untouched terrain.
If this doesn’t inspire a sudden skiing trip, I don’t know what will.
How long does it take to get to Great Frontier from the nearest airport? Hard to believe they had an extra spot on such short notice.
It’s a remote spot, but that’s part of the charm. Fewer crowds mean more powder for the takers.
The short runtime is perfect for a quick dose of adventure inspiration.
Ever wonder how many opportunities you’ve missed by second-guessing? Watching this makes me regret some of mine.
Regret is a powerful motivator. Let’s all say yes more often.
This video makes me rethink my usual cautious approach to travel. Maybe it’s time to book a last-minute trip.
Sometimes the best stories start with a ‘yes’ and a leap of faith.
I’m all for planning, but stories like this make me reconsider my over-scheduled travel plans.
This is what travel dreams are made of—last-minute plans, epic adventures, and unforgettable scenery.
The visuals in this short film are breathtaking. It’s easy to see why people chase winter sports.
Spontaneity often leads to the best memories. Can’t help but admire the ‘just go for it’ attitude.
Great Frontier looks like a bucket list destination for any serious skier.
Just thinking about the powder must be enough to make any skier’s heart race.
This is the kind of content that makes me want to drop everything and travel.
Great Frontier sounds like a hidden gem. I wonder what other secret spots like this exist in Alaska.
There are so many untouched places in the world, just waiting for someone to discover them.
