what is the first ski movie you saw and how did it influence you? the first one i saw was MSP's SKI MOVIE. i thought it was the coolest thing ever. i have always been a skier since i was about 4 and this was the first ski movie i saw. i was so amazed, i had never seen people do tricks like that before so the rest of my ski season my friend and I just built jumps (small ones haha) and tried to huck 360's.. those were the days.

It was some Warren Miller one, I forget which one. I was about 9 or 10 at the time, and I remember one of the guys in the movie ended up being my ski coach for a season a couple years later.

Propaganda. a local ski shop carried PBP for the first time and the cover caught my eye (jp doing the loop!) before that i had been renting warren miller movies. i didn't even know there were freestyle skiing movies until that day.

Oakley Team Vid...Session 1242....completely blew my mind!!!

Tanner in the park, JP,JF,Philou,Julien Reigner, Anthony B ...all in one movie.....i didn't know it at the time but now that ive seen more vids it may be the greatest of all time in my oppinion.

Not to mention Pep's segment which had enough awesome shots to be its own movie.

Degenerates or State of Mind. I was 10 or 11 when I saw and had been into snowboarding for a few years after starting skiing at 2. My best friend's older brother somehow got way into skiing after seeing a late night ad for them (I think?). I've been into it ever since. I actually like the older videos more than most of the new ones. 13 for example, is one of my favorite videos of all time. Perhaps it was just the winters I had in my life when I saw it, or perhaps it really is the best video of all time.

the eleventh hour.

i watched the ninthward kids skiing, and kyler and dylan's combined part about forty times in two weeks because it was my neighbour's new favourite movie. i saw those guys skiing and decided that it looked fun, so i took up skiing.

then i learned how to ski in the park and i don't ever go outside of it ever.

my first was Unknown, but that sucked. My first real one was either The Game or Happy Dayz, both have influenced my riding so much by focusing more on style than hucks. And it made me really appreciate rail skills

Well I saw plenty of Warren Millers when I was younger, and "50" when I was in grade 11. However it was the original SKI MOVIE a year later that made me have to get twins. The movies since then are better, but nothing got me as excited to ski as that one. JP, Seth and McConkey blew my mind. (Funny, 6 years later, its still the same 3 guys I like the best)
