Winter Sport Movie Roundup

Of all the signs that winter is on its way, perhaps the most stoke-inducing is the annual release of the new ski and snowboard films. There’s nothing like seeing your favorite pros ripping superhuman lines and stomping reality-shattering tricks to get you hyped for opening day at your local resort. And while Instagram edits may have shortened our collective attention span with the nonstop tidal wave of snowsports content available nearly year-round, there’s no substitute for the magic and artistry of a full-length film. That’s why we pulled together this collection of trailers for some of the new snow flicks that have us most hyped for the coming season. Whether your proverbial boat is floated by big backcountry lines or creative inner-city shenanigans, there’s bound to be something on this list that gets you frothing for the snow to start falling. Start making plans to attend a local premiere event with your crew, host your own premiere-night-slash-waxing-party, or simply block out some time on your calendar for streaming the latest drops when you should be working instead (not that we’d know anything about that).

Anywhere from Here - Matchstick Productions

The latest release from freeski mainstay Matchstick Productions explores the limitless possibilities that open up when stepping into a pair of ski bindings, through the eyes of 12-year-old phenom Walker Woodring (as well as a star-studded cast of other top pros.) Shot on location in Alaska, British Columbia, Colorado, Austria, and Oregon, you can expect a solid mix of riding styles—from big-mountain lines to backcountry kickers to park jumps that would make insurance agents cringe. And of course, the epic cinematography and soundtracks that Matchstick brings to every one of their projects. Releasing: October 2022 Link:

Sincerely Yours - Ride Snowboards

While they’ve been around since the early days of snowboarding, Ride has made quite a name for themselves in recent years with their top-notch team and boundary-pushing film projects. Sincerely Yours follows several of their European team riders around their home cities and resorts to celebrate the places that made such an impact on their riding styles and overall approach to sliding on snow. From creative and technical urban riding to big ol’ backcountry jumps, you can expect a well-rounded mix of riders and locations from the peaks of the Alps to the Scandinavian streets.

Feel Real - Blank Collective

Releasing: Premiere tour currently in progress, online release November 22 Link: If your stoke persists for more than four hours after watching the above trailers—that’s totally normal, so no need to call a doctor. Maybe reach out to a meteorologist instead, to see if they can give you a straight answer on when winter will be here. Not soon enough, if you ask us.
