Why do these dominate every skiing trailer I've ever seen?

Is $$$ the only reason?
What aspects of our sport are key to our sport's future evolution?

yeah money for sure, the clearness of the trailer is what was mind blowing for me though, soo clear like no sketch at all and that goes into the money factor

they have more creative angles and a clean shot with the camera moving seems to help

Definitely not all about the money. They just have the experience. The sports progression is ahead of skiing.

well it is common knowledge that skiing is about 3 years behind snowboarding. and those cameramen  are not frelance, they tend to work with the same group again and again year after year. in terms of money poorboyz could have done that. I bet all of that cabel cam stuff could have been done for less then the price of an AK heli trip so money has very little to do with it. being behind snowboarding and trying to catch up is.

i have come to the conclusion that snowboarding videos are better then skiing videos.

I agree. It gives me shivers to think about what Ostness could turn out with a budget and crew comp to snowboard movies.

Snowboarding culture in general is more evolved. Plus, when you think about it, who could turn out movies like that in the game right now?

TGR-a little to hippie
MSP-too serious and stuck on slo-mo voiceovers
Level 1-not enough $$$
TBC-wish they could get together the support

PBP-maybe our best bet

heres my hypothesis
snowboarding is more popular with the general public then skiing so their are more videographers interested in filming a snowboard video.
feel free to prove me wrong or edit my hypothesis

You are right, and also I think mostly of you guys prefer snowboarding movies cause you are watching all day ski movies so watching snowboarding wich is something diferent is coolers for you. I think if you ask someone that dosnt ski or snowboard what he likes more peps 1242 part or this trailer I think we all know whats the answer.

competitive snowboarding is more popular thanks to the big names like shaun white. i actually think your exactly right but i believe that skiing is making a very strong comeback in the general public

Those trailors are so sick. I hope that is the direction that ski films are going. The quiality was so good it seemed more like it was hollywood movie, which is the way it should be. Those cable cams are so filthy as well. Me and my friend are building one up at his property next year

it doesnt matter how far behind we are, they seem to be more creative too (double wall ride+boneless roof gap), and is it just me or are their bc booters bigger than ours?

more popularity = more money = more/better everything

its a simple equation and the fact that skiing is getting more popular is why skiing is getting better movies.
