300 - Miles Clark has always lived for the mountains. At 46 years old, he’s carved out a life as a pro skier and mountain guide, chasing peaks and purpose across the globe. But for over a decade, one goal still loomed over him: ski 300 days in a single year. Weather, injuries, and life always got in the way. Until everything changed. In January 2023, Miles lost his beloved mother, the person who gave him his grit, stubbornness, and fire. In the wake of overwhelming grief, he turned to the only place that ever made sense: the mountains. That winter brought record-breaking snow and a chance. What began as a personal challenge became something deeper: a journey of healing, reflection, and rediscovery. From California to Antarctica, Argentina to Alaska, Miles skied through pain, joy, exhaustion, and awe. He found that the mountains weren’t just his playground, they were his sanctuary. And this wasn’t the first time they had saved him… 300 is the story of a man who refused to let grief define him. It’s about chasing a dream, not for accolades, but for meaning. And it’s about how skiing, day after day, turn after turn, can stitch a broken heart back together.
