Mark Kogelmann is the founder and owner of SoulRyders, an underground film production company. He is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and in 2010 he left his corporate job, company truck, expense account, and steady salary to dive into the big mountain ski industry. Mark is sponsored by La Sportiva and many other top notch brands, but after a season ending injury during a Salt Lake City freeride ski competition, he has pursued more of a production role with SoulRyders.
The whole point of SoulRyders is to find the person that would be doing it without the camera on them.

The No Edge concept brings your foot closer to the rock for better edging performance, increased sensitivity and more homogeneous wear. An all-synthetic upper does not stretch out and the Fast Lacing System® cinches down with a hook and loop closure. The P3® platform gives you the downturned power needed for hard boulder problems. The overall feel of the shoe is lightweight, thin and sensitive for hi-performance bouldering, sport climbing, technical trad climbing and gym climbing.
