"The female ski scene has been booming lately and for me, who is a female skier, It’s amazing to finally see women getting more space in the male-dominated ski industry. Nothing makes me more stoked to go skiing than to see all women ski films. Watching up and comers make their own ski projects come to life and seeing the pros send big lines motivates and inspires me to get out there and get after it."
