15 year old Finn Bilous at SSNZ's 2014 Spring Camp - October 2014.

“Once the lifts were still and the crowds were gone, Finn Bilous utilized his home resort of Treble Cone in Wanaka, NZ to capture a new creative project. With the gullies and ridges loaded with spring snow, Finn’s canvas was now blank and open to interpretation. With the help of an eclectic bunch of Finn’s mates and mountain bike trail building crew, Flux Trails, the boys took to his favourite run Crag’s Shooter, to create a top to bottom snake line that complements Finn’s unique eye and laidback surf style.
Camping high up on the mountain for 3 days, the crew carved out one flowy line through the natural halfpipes that makes this run so unique. Riding a pair of fish tail skis, hand painted by Finn himself. The checkerboard rails and dimension detailing on ‘The Twin Finn’ ski draws ties to Finn’s heavy influence from art, design and surf cultures. Partnered with Hunt Cinema’s alternative approach to ski filming, who’s mountain bike influence spills into this project with the pure sound of Finns skis on snow creating the soundscape. Stripping the soundtrack, and a restrained style of edit taking skiing back to its simplest raw form to show the pure essence of solidarity and freedom of expression provided by the mountains. When skiing turns to White Noise.”

13 year old, Finn Bilous skiing in the states this 12/13 season. Hope you enjoy!
Strapped a GoPro to my head, looked like a jerry and did a run through The Crags at Treble Cone Ski Area. Here's the result...
2020 has been a crazy year thus far. Covid-19 put an abrupt halt on the past Northern Hemisphere season and had an ongoing effect on essentially everybody’s life in one way or another. For me, having come home to New Zealand a few months earlier than expected, I found myself with more spare time than I’d usually have during this time of year. Therefore, during our nationwide lockdown, I spent many hours compiling old footage that I’d sporadically managed to acquire over the past few seasons, and this 8-minute self-cut is the result of that.
With so many wild stories and images in the media at the moment, I hope this clip breaks up your feed, puts a smile on your face and gets you frothy for the upcoming winter ahead! A huge thanks to all the people that filmed this edit, my friends for all the sick times over the past few years, my family for the constant love and support, my sponsors and team for making this lifestyle possible and of course skiing, for the fun, so many life lessons and the countries, cultures, and people that you’ve introduced me to.

Filmed a couple of days this spring, threw them together and this is the result. Hope you like it.
Put together a bunch of footage that Hank and I got this season. Mainly all competition footage since we find filming each other way too draining. Hope you like it, chur.

Due to lack of footage filmed from last season, i didn't make a season edit. I still wanted to produce a video though, so i've came up with a short 2 and a half minute edit to get you stolked for the 2012 NZ Winter Season. Enjoy.
