You know the feeling, the one where you are watching a super human send their body down a line that looks insane. The next thing you know you’re beyond stoked to get out there yourself and chase your own moment of wow. Watching ski films can inspire you. The power of ski / extreme sport movies can not be understated.
Female ski movies use to be a concept that were just a dream. Now the industries top female shredders are out there making their own. You don’t have to go too far back in time to watch any of the older ski films ( 2010’s and older, yea we are aging ourselves right now ) to notice a simple theme. Every dope ski movie would have these incredible athletes giving us a thrill and sending lines that would seriously injury the average person. For about an hour and a half only to see possible one maybe a three females tops in short segments. With men dominating the screen time.
There has been an incredible shift over the last few years with some of the raddest female shredders producing, starring, writing, and putting in the work for female ski movies. Since we can never have too many ski movies we took the time to find some of these great finds
