Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I must of watched every ski related movie on there now, much to the detriment of work that gets done at work, need a few more now.
McConkey must be one on the best Bio-documentary around.

Anyway others include:
Tracing Skylines
Mount St Elias
All I Can


There are quite a few high mountain climbing related films to if that interests you.

US Netflix has a series on the making of The Art Of Flight, which I actually found much more interesting than the film, but it doesn't look like it's available on the UK site. rolling eyes

@ArcticFox1, you can access the US netflix by using an app called holla, or any other VPN device, which effectively pretends to make you computer appear in the US.

Have watched a couple of ski movies on Netflix, such as:
- Downhill Racer: The 1847 classic starring Gene Hackman and Robert Redford.
- First Descent: Made by Universal pictures.
- The Last of the Ski Bums: Dick Barrymore made one of the best movies of all time.

However, can't find more recent movies like Penguins of Madagascar online.. any suggestions on where to find such flicks?

Check out valley uprising. Not a ski movie, it's about the history of big wall climbing in Yosemite.

All I Can


Love the JP Auclair street segment from All I Can, watch it on average once a month on Youtube!!

Don't use Netflix but Art of Flight and the like are available on Red Bull TV site, think they may have Days of my Youth now too (and probably the Making of Art of Flight that arcticfox mentioned). I also managed to find The Recruitment & The Masquerade on Youtube/Vimeo, both from Sean Pettit and a bit conceptual with a sort of 'plot' running in the background. Interesting idea and I quite enjoyed them, in particular The Recruitment...although not sure they'll be to everyone's taste.

Doesn't really matter, good way for people to give a heads up on what ski films are about, fine by me.


Incidentally I have no shame in having seen Chalet Girl more than once.

Chalet girl gets a lot of flac but bill nighy is great it in.
Feel good British film.
Doesn't deserve the criticism imo
I admit to watching it with the kids at least once a year.

Another one we watch is frozen, not the Disney one but the wolves one

@5pike, yes! Love that resort section, it's just a bunch of mates having a laugh and messing about. In the same vein is the Dream Trip video that Salomon did last year, you get the feeling that the guy who won was genuinely getting on well with the pro skiers.

@SnoodyMcFlude, not seen that Dream Trip video will have a look this weekend.

If you want to see a bunch of mates touring having a laugh while skiing, take a look at the Keep Your Tips Up series Sean Pettit made for Redbull. Series 2 Episode 1 was just shown this week, but heres a link to a playlist of all the Series 1 epsiodes https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnuf8iyXggLGmH5Co4w5YpJfwbQe9gPTj

Another vote for Force Majeure. Very different, and not really about skiing, but quite nice for location spotting in Les Arcs.

@suggul, yeah some laugh out loud moments, no wonder your 1st wife left you was a good one.
Cinematography was good and the closed in feeling was very intense.
Won't be everyone's cup of tea but gets a thumbs up from me, cheers for recommending it
