Well I'd say there is proof that the ladies are stepping up their game lately! A lot of those bc, pow and pillow shots could easily be mistaken for guys.

Little heavy on the Lifestyle in the trailer, but actually stoked to check this out. These movies do a lot to hype up the female side of our sport, which is often forgotten.

Question for the guys? Would you rather see the girls progressing in the park or in big mountain riding?

A double backflip?!?! Sorry, I had to.



On a serious note, good luck trying to make a decent movie with that many riders. I'm guessing it's for the strength in numbers but it won't come across that way on film.

Looked decent. The song was awful but there was some good skiing. As far as girls progression, it would be cool to see it in the park and the backcountry. I feel like it's been a while since I've seen anything progressive in the park though.

Also..... Lynsey Dyer is by far and away the hottest female skier IMO. Like it's not even close, amazing smile and eyes.

big mtn, girls skiing in the park, no matter how good they are, sketches me out. they always look like they're 0.05 seconds from absolute disaster. idk if its a muscle or confidence thing or what but they always seem to look like they're on the verge of catching an edge. girls with a racing or big mtn background don't seem to look like this

Damn I just have to say that I'm really impressed by the level of skiing I saw in there. The biggest thing I noticed was that they just looked so much more confident than I'm used to seeing. A whole lot of girls just look timid on a pair of skis, but not these ladies! It's sick!

Looked cool, but not a fan of the female related title. It down plays the skiing and just refers back to the whole skier/model thing.
All guys are paid for ability.
Some girls are paid for a smile and a pow shot.
I wish it had a more neutral title. Aside from that, good stuff.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and bet that it is most likely sarcasm. Like bucking the norm of ladies usually being shot for their pretty faces.

It just also happens that some of these ladies do indeed have pretty faces........Some. I'm sure they've got great personalities though.

Kidding of course, I'm sure all these women are top notch in many ways.

Pretty sick but half of the trailer wasn't even skiing. I also expect some reused footage because that last shot of Rachel Burks was in Light the Wick.

Yes please. There may be some reused footage but it looked like a good chunk of it was new (at least to me). And if it's re-edited well I don't mind seeing shots again.
