Celebrated Film Chronicles the Journey of Independent Skier Megan McJames

Park City, Utah – (Oct. 28, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/- Jackson Hole-based film company KGB Productions announced today that its latest film, Trailblazer, the celebrated documentary that follows the Olympic journey of American skier Megan McJames, will be available to stream on Amazon Prime beginning Nov. 1.

The Amazon Prime announcement is the latest accomplishment for Trailblazer, which made its official debut earlier this year at the No Man’s Land Film Festival World Tour and has been embraced by audiences during a series of showings at North American ski destinations this fall.

Watch the trailer for Trailblazer here.

Trailblazer chronicles the inspirational story of McJames, who was a standout skier in her native Park City before she qualified for the Winter Olympics in 2010 as a member of the U.S. Ski Team. She was ultimately cut from the team in 2012 but committed herself to competing independently, relying on fundraisers and sponsors to support her coaching, training and travel.

Combining intimate interviews with McJames and others who helped her on her journey with extraordinary ski footage in Jackson Hole and Alaska, Trailblazer tells the powerful story of McJames’ quest to become the first skier to qualify for the winter Olympic Games after being cut from the U.S. Ski Team. The film is sponsored by Volkl and Flylow.

“It has been incredibly humbling to see how Trailblazer has resonated with film tour audiences so far, especially with those who have themselves faced challenges in pursuit of a dream. My story doesn’t end with a gold medal like so many of the Olympic stories made into film, but instead focuses on the journey—the lessons learned, the obstacles overcome, and the resilience built along the way,” McJames said. “I’m beyond excited that an even larger audience will get to experience the empowerment I gained from facing my struggles head on. My hope in sharing this film is that it will inspire others to embrace their own path, wherever it may lead.”
