Fall’s Hottest Ski Films Are Going on Tour—Here’s the List
A chill in the air, the first snowflakes of the season—fall brings so many signs that winter is almost here, but perhaps my favorite thing about fall is that it’s ski film premiere season.
Although social media has drastically changed the landscape of ski media and we no longer really have to wait to see last season’s biggest sends, there is still something magical about watching ski movies on a big screen, in a theater full of people, to get excited for the upcoming season. For as long as ski films are premiering on big screens, you’ll find me there watching them.
Along with the few companies still putting out a feature-length film each year, lots of production companies and brands are opting for tours that include several short pieces.
So whether you’re looking for 50 minutes of non-stop ski action or a collection of short films to scratch that ski media itch, there’s probably a tour out there for you.
Here’s a roundup of the major production companies and brands taking their films on tour this fall and where to find them.

Tired of only seeing the occasional woman in ski films, the Girl Winter team sought to give female ski-film enthusiasts a night where, instead of waiting to see someone who looked like them on screen, they were given tons of different examples of female professional skiers.
Tour stops will show Mimic, featuring and directed by Piper Kunst; Trails Still Blazing, featuring Megan McJames; Queen of the Catskills, featuring Julie McGuire; Dear Superhero, featuring Janina Kuzma; That One Friend, featuring Sierra Schlag and Waverly Chin; and Let My People Go Skiing, featuring and directed by Ellen Bradley.
