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?

SklarSweetgrass - Valhalla maybe?


If I did I full movie I was thinking that or All I Can

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


never go in against a Sicilian

Mr.BishopChug 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 think I might just have to go with Chug.

I'm telling you it's not a bad bet. My mother in law begged for more right at the end and we watched all three seasons back to back.

It basically was kind of like jersey shore to her.

definitely few words. you get a good explanation about freestyle skiing, a superb story and a solid mix of freestyle & big mountain.

if you mind the interviews, go with valhalla instead.

show her a level 1 production with really pretty backcountry, so at least she has that too look at, I know when I have tried non skiers tend to think rail tricks are not cool to watch, but they love big mountain

After the Sky Falls. It's not too long, it's in HD, the production value is high, the music isn't dated, there's a decent mix of pretty lifestyle/b-roll shots, the skiing isn't super technical so it's relatable to a non-park rat, and has some funny moments. Or at least that's why my girlfriend liked it.

Or ya know, if you're only going for one ski movie, ever, Guatemalan Persuader.

After the sky falls, into the mind, ski school, 4bi9 house episode 1. You're set with any of those, all for totally different reasons.
