Here are 7 movies you should definitely see
No,1 GOOD LUCK - A Jossi Wells & Torin Yater Wallace Film
The second backcountry work by Josie Wells and Torin Yarter Wallace, who have been active as top freestylers for many years.
This time, the young Burke Irving, who stands out in the halfpipe, and Chris Logan, who played an active role in the "THE BIG PICTURE series", joined and came back with more power.
The film was shot by Chris' brother Sean Logan.
Big jumps and deep powder that are fascinating in the backcountry of Wyoming and Idaho, USA. Not only that, but also the scene of a special park session in Aspen, Colorado. Many of the staff are experienced riders, and you can feel the extraordinary attention to detail, such as shooting, editing, and trick choices for riding.
No,2 The Bunch - LOVE YOU TOO
In the 2020s, the skill level of all riders is rising.
However, there are fewer and fewer riders who skate with so much originality and individuality that you can recognize them at a glance. Among them, The Bunch's works have established a consistent style with high originality and imagination.
Six months after crew member Alex Hackel won the silver medal for Xgames RealSki 2021, it's incredibly packed with footage.
Despite years of breaking stereotypes, the tricks continue to push boundaries. The skillful production of music and images creates an immersive feeling that makes you feel like you are right next to them. Street skiing may be unfamiliar to most readers, but this work is recommended for those who feel that there are many similar images of skiing.
No,3 Markus Eder's The Ultimate Run - The Most Insane Ski Run Ever Imagined
Marcus Eder is an Italian slopestyler who represented the Sochi Olympics and is the 2019 Freeride World Tour series champion.
This work, which he shot over a total of 90 days over two seasons, is not limited to skiers and snowboarders.
Part of it was broadcast on a wide show in Japan, and it surprised even the living room. From the summit of Zermatt to glaciers and ice caves, from perfectly maintained parks to urban rides in ancient castles, the lines are endlessly drawn using all the skills you have.
His flowing style, even when using fat skis that emphasize stability at high speeds, shows no stagnation in the delicate movements he shows with spin tricks and taps on the rails.
The production is Legs of Steel, which has released high quality works so far.
If you haven't seen it yet, please check it out!
No,4 BRAP SKI 1 - FULL FILM (4K Ultra HD) - CRAZY KARL
Blap skiing is skiing on a snowmobile.
Karl Fostvedt and his crew access the vast backcountry of America by snowmobile, building huge jumps and playing freely.
A work that captures that lifestyle. If you look only at this, it's a common iron ski movie, but what should be noted is the variety of drone images.
There have been many works using drone shots so far. High-level footage is still recorded to make them all a thing of the past. Various angles have been tried to express the overwhelming sense of speed, the size of the field, and the style of each rider, and it is simply cool.
Even in Japan, there are a few people who enjoy skiing and snowboarding using snowmobiles. I want to challenge myself someday.
No,5 Burrrlapz | Touch The Snow | A Video About Carving
Dylan Siggers and Burrrlapz's latest release, Touch The Snow, is a mix of old-school turns and new styles.
This work depicts the joy and beauty of skiing that everyone goes through.
The snow that is shoveled up on the slide turns and the G that is applied on the carving turns feels great, and it's fun to fly over small steps and slide with friends, and it makes me want to go skiing again.
It brings back a faint memory of a nighttime game in which the snow fell gently, and cans of cocoa and corn potage warmed my numb hands from the cold. Any professional rider, of course, the general public, should have many experiences that can sympathize with this work. This nostalgic yet new style shines in a world full of incredibly deep powder and outrageous action footage each year.
No,6 The North Face presents: COALESCE
British skier Josie Wells and ballerina Chelsea Kiefer, who have captivated many with their stylish skiing, have combined the movements of skiing and dance to show the precision and beauty that lies within. an expressive duet.
Advertisements for action sports such as skateboarding on the streets and on television are now commonplace.
Not only that, skateboards have become more common in advertisements for high-end brands, and the barrier between high-end brands and the street has become lower. Produced as an advertisement for The North Face, this work is definitely a gem in that trend.
Alongside leisure and competition, action sports also have an aspect of "performing arts" that consists of physical actions and actions, and many photographs and video works have been produced commercially.
And the contrast in the work is ballet, a less commercial performing arts. I would like you to "appreciate" the work that is expressed as an art that is unparalleled in skiing.
No,7 Yuhei Yamada's “Guilty Pleasure” part
"Kun-san" Yuhei Yamada's new video part "Guilty Pleasure".
As I continued to shoot on the street since before my previous work, Komainu, almost all of the photographers and crew members who skated with me naturally became skaters and snowboarders.
Their camera work, spot choices, and Yamada's ski style influenced by skiing have a unique view of the world. In this work, not only the street but also the huge pillow line scene is included. Music is handled by "rira" and "Rakutensai" who are active as the same crew as Yamada who also performs DJ activities. The hot MC on top of the neo-classical beat is also one of the “highlights”.

No.8 Nomadic, Quebec
Canadian ski bum Jeremy Goldie's season edit.
Jeremy's slide expresses famous street spots in Quebec, Canada.
He seems to be unsponsored, as several brands of boards are used in his work.
Starting with a scene where he takes a selfie of a car with a drone, there are many scenes that seem to be taken by himself as a paused shot. If you want to shoot the street completely by yourself, you have to face the fear and the helplessness of not being able to make up.
The ability to leave a wide variety of shots in place shots is something that cannot be done unless the feeling for skiing is really strong. It is a passionate work that breaks the stereotype that "you have to be a rider on the street... you have to have someone to shoot you...".
No,9 Siver Voll street 20/21
You can change the load on the rail and spin freely.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the best rider in the world. That's Norway's Siber Fol. Shiver has demonstrated his talent in the park so far.
In the street work released this time, he continues to do amazing tricks in that style. It is a work that fully demonstrates the Instagram generation riding with a long rail that can be mistaken for a video of a game. Be sure to check out his park videos and Instagram.
He's sure to get you hooked on his incredible array of tricks.

No.10 "SECURITY NOTICE" alex hall
REALSKI 2021 winner Alex Hall street full part.
It goes without saying that he has a number of hammer tricks. Works with the theme of the street tend to be serious.
Fatigue builds up with scoop work every time, fear of not knowing if you can do the trick you're aiming for, frequent stoppages due to scolding... Compared to snowboarding works, skiing originally had fewer scenes of jokes. Recently, due to the prosperity of SNS, works are getting shorter and shorter, and even snowboarding has less leeway to play. However, even though Alex is more aggressive than anyone else, he never forgets his sense of fun.
Not limited to this video, he expresses that he enjoys skiing.
If he doesn't get involved in editing, he makes playful trick choices. Alex, who boasts high results in competitions and has a “bright” presence in his video expressions.
He is solidifying his reputation as the next generation of superheroes.
No, 11 Forrmula
In Northern Europe, it snows even in the city, and winter sports are very familiar.
A young Finnish crew member, Foret, combines the power of a mighty winch with an out-of-the-box imagination, and carves a crazy aggressiveness into the city.
In the scenes of objects and residential areas in the center of Helsinki, you can feel the familiarity and tolerance of Finnish people towards skiing. A fairly large section is also majestically made up. This work stands out for its bold and dynamic use of space. There must be a lot of cases where people get mad at the end of a big construction project with snow and end up getting rejected, but the big sections are still fun to watch.
It's also good that the direction is different from THE BUNCH, SUEDE, and the Harlaut Apparel crew. The ski street scene is completely hot in Scandinavia right now.
No,12 Suéde - Rip in Pieces
Real Ski 2019 silver medalist Peyben, but this work was shot by filmer Emil Larson.
Suede is tanned leather and another name for Sweden. Although the style is strongly influenced by "THE BUNCH" introduced in No. 2, it has its own style from trick choice, editing, and soundtrack.
I'm sorry for the very detailed part, but in this work, breakbeats are included in the BGM.
You can't choose this unless you are familiar with European rave culture, and you can see the insert of the party scene for a moment. Young people's nightlife is completely different in Europe, North America, and Asia. It's interesting to get a glimpse of various cultures. I feel the germination of new talent in the many creative tricks and shocking tricks scattered throughout the work. In particular, Level1 SuperUnknown XIV winner Oliver Carlberg showed an amazing slide. He also appeared in THE BUNCH - Love You Too, but in both works his skating left an impression.
No,13 Simon Bartik - Slav and Friends FULL MOVIE
A project shot over two seasons by Simon Bartick.
Czech skier boss Daniel Hanka also made an appearance. A session at a closed ski resort in the spring, from the streets of the capital Prague to the young people exhaling in the park. All of them are full of creative ideas.
Skiing lines (following shots of continuous jib tricks) has a faster speed range than skateboarding, making it difficult to shoot.
However, it makes good use of images that can only be taken with a 360 camera. In terms of video techniques, such as animation written on live action and skillfully incorporating photos into the video, he demonstrates creativity and never gets tired of it. It is a work that allows you to fully enjoy the Czech style, which has not been well known in Japan until now.
No,14 "WUN" Harlaut Apparel Co. | Full Video
Harlow Apparel team movie.
Harlow is Henrik Harlow, the darling of freeskiing. The team has a strong body that embodies the DOPE style.
Nowadays, it is rare to find a brand that creates a team with such a sense of unity.
Even if Henrik retires in the future, his established style will be inherited and will continue to survive as a meme. A picture that gives you hope.
