What happens when nine riders from four countries touch down in the Japanese Alps in the midst of a season-defining storm cycle? The universal language of ‘dig yourself out, lap until your legs give out, and do it all again’ removes any barriers that may have existed, and a silent bond is forged. Photo credit: Julien Petry

Between Days

This film takes us deep into the Tavan Bogd massif, nestled in the Mongolian Altai Mountains. Camille, Pierre and Victor share a common love of exploring remote mountains and unfamiliar lands on ski and snowboard. But what are they really looking for in these mountains?

Into Altai

Kai Jones became a professional skier at just twelve years old. Kai swiftly rose to the top of freeskiing with viral videos that earned him four consecutive Skier of the Year nominations beginning at the unheard-of age of fourteen. This film offers an unfiltered look at Kai’s journey following a near-fatal, potentially career-ending ski accident at sixteen.

Kai Jones’ Falling Into Place

There's a tense moment before every grand performance where apprehension turns to belief, and preparation meets presentation. We follow the interwoven journey of a skier and a rapper as they individually navigate this moment on stages of their own choosing. Photo credit: Jake Burchmore

Slipstream

Professional backcountry skier Sierra Schlag has built a career around focus, grit, and always chasing the next big line. She takes her job, and her skiing, seriously. But when Waverly Chin — aka Waves — her funky, free-spirited best friend shows up with snacks and silliness, it’s reminder not to take life (or skiing) too seriously. Photo credit: Chloe Jimenez
