Didn't we all start exploring the deep snow by taking shortcuts between two hairpin bends? And didn't that make you feel just like those guys in those rad movies you'd seen at some friend's older (and of course much cooler) brother's house? Today, we're bringing that feeling back and reminiscing about some of the classic powder movies.
Greg Stump | Blizzard of Aaah's
Certainly a milestone, Blizzard of Aaah's suddenly showed a young, wild and unfamiliar way of skiing. It is a must-see.
MSP Films | Global Storming
The big names of today's legends are united here: JP Auclair, Dean Cummings, Chris Davenport, Shane McConkey, Seth Morrison and, and, and... And powder to the max. The fact that there was so much powder at all was hardly known in Europe at the time...

Standard Films | TB9
Board only! Almost a full three quarters of an hour. Only the Totally Board film series managed that back then. TB9 is certainly one of the best of them.
Teton Gravity Research | Further
Back then, TGR stood for the overwhelming mix of extreme powder lines mixed with the fattest tricks from the emerging new school sector. Further was a milestone in this respect.
Willy Bogner | Fire and Ice
THE German-born ski film. Until then, most international ski film productions had somehow had the quality of a hobby film and in Europe there wasn't anything clever at all. Then Willy Bogner came along with his ski feature film and virtually revolutionized everything.
MGM | Hot Dog... The Movie!
80s ski comedy at its very best. The Europeans are dressed down just like all the gapers. And in addition to ski action, slapstick and a mediocre storyline, there's also plenty of 80s bushes and tits to see. What more could you want? An absolute must-see.
Dick Barrymore | The Golden Years of Ski Films
Simply because it's so brilliant... "Great recoveries scored high!"
This movie should be compulsory material in every school education.
