Shot across the peaks of Italy and France, each episode blends adrenaline‑fueled backcountry skiing and coastal crag climbs with the everyday chaos, and joy, of raising a family in the wild.
“If you push your kids past what they think is possible – whether it’s being cold, tired, or wet – they’ll learn they have the capacity to do way more than they thought they could”
says Zoe, one of the few women in the world to hold the prestigious IFMGA mountain‑guide certification.
From dawn patrol ski traverses to quiet afternoons tending a home garden, Disaster Style celebrates parenting that embraces dirt, discomfort, and the unexpected.
Zoe and Max – veterans of steep lines and remote summits – now navigate a new frontier: sharing their passion for the mountains with their littlest partners in crime.
“I feel my best in real moments in nature – with real consequences and real rewards. I want my kids to gravitate toward those experiences because I believe they’ll make them happy and shape them into good people with strong values and solid priorities” Zoe adds.
Directed by Pierre Cadot of Yucca Films – renowned for his raw, authentic mountain storytelling – the series launches on YouTube today, with new episodes on 25 June and 2 July.
An East Coast native turned Chamonix local for over two decades, Zoe has climbed the world’s toughest alpine routes, guided expeditions as an IFMGA‑certified professional, and lent her voice to environmental causes – from Paris 2024’s Olympic events to grassroots mountain‑culture initiatives.
With 10+ years of capturing mountain culture, Pierre Cadot co‑founded Yucca Films in the Chamonix Valley to shine a light on athletic feats and human stories alike.
A skier and mountaineer himself, Cadot’s award‑winning work honors the raw authenticity of his subjects, letting the landscape – and the people who love it – speak for themselves.
