Do to losing a bet, I get to show my girlfriend ONE ski movie (or edit) of my choosing.

She skis occasionally but actively does not enjoy ski vids so I'd like to show her something that has stellar videography, editing, and creative skiing.

I've previously showed her this year's real ski edits and they didn't do anything for her.

What videos would you show to convert/impress someone who doesn't care about skiing?

show her some JT holmes and Mcconkey doing ski base. Even if you hate both sports you have to admire how nuts that shit is.

I think I'd agree with Mcconkey or something along those lines.

Out of curiousity what was the bet? and what were your stakes if you lost?

I'd one up that as well with the McConkey probably, or a TGR film, I think they all have amazing videography and and amazing locations.

Non skiers care more about triples than style but an all round movie like Attack of el nina, maybe?

Refresh by Level 1 is an all time great, and she might like how parts of it are narrated by Warren Miller. He brings a fresh perspective and I always find that he describes the oddity of the sport really well.

Eye Trip is a classic, along with Refresh. Pleasure might be cool for someone who has never seen a ski movie

Chug Life Episode 1.

My mother in law sat down with me one day and I played it, and she was begging for more right at the end.

I vote both because they're both pretty short compared to movies by big production companies.

Pretty good idea here if you're looking for an actual ski movie and not something funny.

The referenced post has been removed.


yeah id go for something short and sweet and accessible like that^, or maybe something like few words which does a decent job of showing the viewer the context of the sick skiing

or tbc, it's just a really solid flick with great cinematography and music and huge jumps. anyone can appreciate huge jumps
