8 Upcoming Ski Movie Releases for Fall 2020
After the longest offseason in recent memory, I have never been so excited for ski season to start. When lifts closed in March, many professional skiers left the competition circuit to focus on backcountry skiing, big jumps and incredible pillow lines. Now is our chance to be a fly on the wall for some of the best skiing ever. From Henrik Harlaut’s 2 year passion project, to an all women’s ski movie made by Coline Ballet-Baz, and hospital defying stunts in the streets by Strictly; we are in for some of the most cinematic projects ever released.
This upcoming season of film releases will be different. Instead of packing into your favorite movie theater with 200 like-minded skiers, we will be watching at home. The 2020-21 season will be filled with uncertainty, reservations at resorts, and long lift lines. In the meantime, we can escape reality and become immersed in our favorite sport.
If you are interested in skiing all year round, check out our summer ski camp at Mt. Hood.
Here are some titles to look out for!

It’s easy to say, no one loves skiing as much as Henrik Harlaut. His baggy clothes, energetic personality, and style separate him for anyone else.

Henrik has been a legend in the skiing game ever since he partnered with Armada skis back in 2011. Shot on location in Jackson Hole, Chamonix, Mt. Baker, Grandvalira, Minnesota, Quebec, and Riksgransen.
