Best LUT's for ski edits

Best thing you can do for skiing is shoot a little flat and add your contrast afterwards, I used to try and do as little correction as possible and focused on correct exposure when I shot, overexposure will ruin your color space so if anything shoot a lil under exposed.

This video by Abe Kislevitz helped me a lot when I was first learning:

Seeing some of Maxime Moulin's grading has also been pretty inspirational, you can see a bit of his process on insta:

I've found that the only time to really get creative with color is when you are shooting on a bluebird day, if you take a look at certain edit's (Faction really comes to mind here) you can see how much more obvious grading they are doing to the sunny day footage vs. cloudy BC days.

Maybe someone can chime in and help me out too, but what I usually do for those cloudy days is to set my WB manually and overexpose by 1 stop when shooting to make sure the white's don't turn into gray and from there just do some minor correction in post.

LUTs probably not what you want for ski edits since the lighting and snow is so inconsistent. I would recommend learning how to color grade using RGB Curves & histograms.
