The Faction Collective Presents: La Grave | 4K

With no ropes, no pistes and no one telling you where you can and can’t go, La Grave represents a very special type of freedom rarely found in other alpine ski areas.

Narrated by a community of locals who have been freeriding in La Grave for the past two decades, and who still reside there today, this short ski film follows Sam Anthamatten and Johnny Collinson as they discover the steep faces, burly lines and unique collective spirit at the heart of La Grave.

Abstract: A Freeski Exhibition | (Full Movie) 4K

Skiing is not art, and skiers are not artists. Unless, of course, skiing is art and skiers are artists? Faction's fourth feature film exhibits pure creativity through a series of freeski sequences from the vibrant streets of Japan, to the powdery pillows of British Columbia, to the finely-manicured terrain parks of Switzerland and Italy. Each location provides a blank canvas for the team’s artistic expression. Because nothing screams “artist” like sending large cliffs and grinding the side of buildings.

Prodigy 3 Antti Ltd.

The Prodigy 3 Antti Ltd. is a limited-edition signature ski to celebrate Antti Ollila’s status as one of freeskiing’s most talented & stylish individuals. Limited to 100 pairs globally.

About the graphic:
The custom artwork, designed with the Finnish style-master himself, pays homage to the terrain and landscape that has been the canvas for Antti’s creative development as a skier. The topsheet features an image of a Lapland landscape, taken by Antti and edited into a black-and-white bitmap texture. The rich color gradient on the bases is inspired by the pink and purple hues that illuminate the Finnish winter sky when the northern lights shine.
