Ski Movie Bingo

Ok fellow skiers. Winter is coming up, and I'm working on creating an illustrated "Ski Movie Bingo" card. Basically, I'm putting together a list of stereotypes that appear in a bunch of ski movies. I have a pretty solid list already, but this community is bound to have a bunch more.

What tired tropes get dragged out every year for each new crop of ski movies?

Some examples to give you an idea of what I'm thinking:

-A skier mentions "progression"
-Montage of avalanches with ominous soundtrack
-Slow motion skin rip
-Timelapse of snow accumulating overnight
-Voiceover of old man pretending to say deep things about the change of seasons
-Shot of urban skiers interacting with cops
-Euros skiing huge lines in terrible snow
-A helicopter films another helicopter

What do you ski in every damn ski movie that comes out?

A few to add-
Park skiers hitting backcountry kickers in inappropriate clothing (cotton tall t's aren't exactly waterproof...)
Pulling a sled off the back of a pickup
Slednecks doing dumb/reckless shit
No sound design, just music on most ski movies in the 2000's decade
Whale tails in park segments
Shot of the crew reacting when the first person guineas the jump during a park shoot
Riders sitting around a backcountry campfire (probably smoking hand rolled cigs or a joint)
Usually a complete lack of snowboarders, and when there are snowboarders, it has to be explained why
Companies with three letter abbreviations making basically the exact same movie that they did last year...

Film.A winch moving/ being cranked up, pulling the banshee bungee back to the skier. A skier being pulled by a banshee bungee or winch.


and in the amateur category: the bungee breaking or someone letting go early and whipping someone/something

- shot of both of them skiing a zone at Jackson that was closed just so they could get it fresh, with a sound bite about how they’ve been looking at it all year and were lucky to get there right when the rope dropped. Zone stays closed after shoot and public isnt allowed the rest of the year.

I went to the first post covid drive-in music festival in fort collins, co and the first night we hid all the beers in crazy narco trafficing spots (bad call ipa popped everywhere) they didnt check a fuckin thing. Next day, filled the cooler and took a shot with a security guard on the way in. The drive in has never seen so much business since like 1969 so they arent worried aboit it. Plus its a gray area on the liquor law because your car is your property but you are on their property.

I played myself, turns out it was caite zeliff and sam smoothy skiing the special closed to public terrain this year.

I remember a lot of shots of park guys hitting BC booters on skinny ass park skis back in the day. IDK how tf Tom Wallisch rode away from those jumps in Refresh on 80 underfoot amplids.
