Individually focused ski movies

Who doesn't enjoy ski movies right? Even my brother, who is an avid snowboarder, prefers ski movies over snowboard movies. I have been collecting, and watching almost daily, ski movies old and new. I watched "The Wells Documentary", "Shane McConkey" and "Few Words" most recently and I really enjoy watching a film focus on one skier. So if you could see a ski movie that focused on one individual skier, that you could learn about their style and mentality, who would it be?

Sidenote: The Sammy Carlson project looks like it is going to be insane, but I'd really like to see one on Parker White, Wiley Miller, or the Durtschi.

I'd love to see Tanner Hall in a full length movie again. Like a full recape of his season, the high and lows of his mentality.

Dude has been through more than most people. This would be so good.

There was like a lion which was a great watch. But more a focus on his mind set during the season. His Tanner Hal'n series was a great watch as well as Ski Diares where he described feeling as if he was about to die. Something like that into a 35 minute short film would be an amazing watch.

Candide in a non-documentary style film. I mean a 40 minute Candide Kamera 3. I was pretty disappointed in the style of Few Words when it was released as I was expecting pure and simple ski porn (but it has definitely grown on me).

Likewise Pollard. I didn't like Idea on its release but recent Nimbus stuff is pretty cool. A Few Words style film of Pollard would actually be pretty cool (go and watch Propaganda again to see how far ahead of everyone else he was), I'd even like to see some snowblade footage of him. Plus lots of new footage. Maybe a double-release.

Yeah, I fully admit I have a man-crush on these two.

Parker White is a class skier, a self movie for him would be sick.
