Simple as this, I'm still final level gaper and want to watch a ton of ski movies, but don't know of any. Leave your favorites down below!

My favourite would be Almost Ablaze by Teton.
But just use the searchbar, loads of threads on this

The older level 1 movies are standards, when i say older i mean 2 years or older. Just go on their website.

Same goes with the older Poor Boys Productions movies, Every Day is a Saturday holds a special place in the hearts of many...

Jeroen13definitely Days of my Youth!

That was a let down, they didn't have enough urban or freestyle.

Hate on WME all you want, but this is the movie that got me into skiing.

I've got a list for you. Some context: I'm an East coast skier who was introduced to this world in the early 2000s but didnt fall in love until the late 2000s. I mostly ski rails, but also love some glades with fresh snow.

I put this together based on culturally and personally significant films and also included some titles that are online for free to get you started if you don't have money to buy movies right now.
I think this is chronological.

Happy Dayz -Poorboyz
Session 1242 -Poorboyz
Refresh- Level 1
Everyday is a Saturday- Poorboyz
G.N.A.R.- Unofficial Networks (http://unofficialnetworks.com/gnar )
Like a Lion - Inspired (http://inspiredmedia.tv/episode/movies/lion-2010/ )
Education of Style - Inspired (http://inspiredmedia.tv/movie/the-education-of-style/ )
--if you like EoS check out the Black out project too (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFgAPDJFqkg )
Weight- Stept
Ten and Two- Stept
Less- Level 1
5 to 9- Hg Skis
(https://www.newschoolers.com/watch/730837.0/HG-Skis-Presents--5-to-9-FULL-MOVIE?c=11&o=10&t=6 )

If you want to buy movies I would suggest you buy in this order.
http://www.level1productions.com/product_detail.cfm?PID=35&CatID=38
https://steptproductions.com/store/stept-3-pack
https://steptproductions.com/store/ten-and-two

I myself just ordered that stept 3 pack and then 10 and two. $45 shipped for 4 movies is so legit, and you will get to see the most unbelievable progression from a crew that really pushed the limits of what was possible in street skiing AND the way that ski movies are made.

Hope you fall in love like the rest of us. This is a crazy world to be a part of, but so much cool shit can happen to you if you dive all the way in.

Its good to start with some history, watching some classics before diving into newer movies trying to be the most impressive newest stuff out there right now.

My all time favorites:
Forward - Level 1
Teddybear crisis
Idea - Nimbus
Few words - Candide documentary
Most importantly: you need to watch Lame - by Robot food (snowboard movie, but everyone who has ever wanted to get in touch with a freestyle movement and enjoys being on snow should be familiar with)

Eye trip will always be my favorite. As it was my first ski movie that got me into skiing.

How has Superheroes of Stoke not been mentioned?
MSP has the best big mountain/park/urban/cinematography ratio yo

Level 1 did a great job with Sunny and Partly Cloudy, but that's just my opinion

It depends what you want to watch. For big mountain and some urban TGR's Almost Ablaze is AMAZING. If you want more urban and park type stuff, something like partly cloudy or anything by level 1
