Ski Movies to Show Non-skiers
Need the best ski movies to show non-skiers so they understand what they're all about. Old school or new, niche or gucciman, anything goes ...
ive shown quite a few non skiers ski movies and usually its all about entertaining qualities like once i tried to watch everyday a Saturday and they made me change it but whenever i put on line tc they usually find it funny and allow it
Also a staple for any movie sesh is to start with tanner hall breaking ankles

Telluride segment from Blizzard of Aahs
JP's segment from All I Can
Charlie Ager Bum Life
Real Skifi series (since it doesn't appeal to most actual skiers in my opinion)

One of those days series

There newer stuff is kinda out there but a lot of there older stuff was real sick.
As for ski movies to show non skiers I'd probably go with Weight. It may make skiing not look fun but it's easy to understand how gnarly some of the stuff is.

lauraobermeyerGNAR is a go to
The only acceptable answer to this question that isn't Totally Trevor 2: The Movie
Big tricks and gnarly features. PBP films always tend to do the trick (Leigh Powis type stuff). I’ve noticed I lose the room during a string of pow segments which sucks because of the raging boner I’ve got for them at the same time.
if they don’t ski... eternal beauty of snowboarding - captures the feeling of what we do way better than most any core ski movie i can think of, non-skiers can’t relate to trick-heavy stuff that we tend to prefer so i think that one’s better
thanks andy

honesty.... any warren miller flick... They are basically a 2hr infomercial to get people into skiing.
freeskibum82honesty.... any warren miller flick... They are basically a 2hr infomercial to get people into skiing.
Im going to have to second this. I will go out and actually say there would be no "Newschool" ski movement without Warren Miller. Seeing those movies back in the late 90s and early 00's kept the stoke up enough to keep me in skiing and now switch to 'popular' snowboarding. That dude literally picked up a camera one day back in 1950 and started filming skiing. This guy is literally the original OG of skiing.
Supposedly when I was a toddler I was throwing a fit at the Seatac airport and Warren Miller happened to walk by and said, "Hey thats a spunky little kid..." and my parents always knew I would be into skiing from then out.
My non-skier roommate came back to the room after class one time and I was in the middle of watching “Stain” and decided to show him the rest of the movie lol. Still a niche movie but it’s easier to show a non-skier something that doesn’t stick to strictly street skiing
Boolers Ball. Or Keeshlife the movie
Or one that got slept on way too hard, Beware of the Birds Brigade by Sami Ortlieb
Opening segment to "Color"
I second most any Warren Miller movie.
They seem to make skiing relatable to people who've never gone down the bunny hill to ladies and gents who've been shredding for decades.

Just show them the first :60 of Guatemalan Persuader, they'll be hooked after that

nvmd ill leave
some gangster shit from 2002
Pretty much everything from Seeking Nirvana and Nimbus Independent are great movies for non-skiers. It's either easy going party powder or big lines with a grassroots feel that just generates amazement and stoke
I'm really surprised by the suggestions so far. From what I gathered, non-skiers usually dislike the backcountry stuff. Its really boring to them. Stept movies on the other hand...
I'd have to say Zabardast is where its at for exactly this. Mind blowing scenery, different culture, and some gnarly fucking skiing. Its free on youtube.
Hotdog because titties and casual drug and alcohol use.
In my experience, non-skiers like:
good music
big jumps
cliff bombing
and don’t like:
Too much street/rails (surprising to me)
Too much pow turns (not surprising)
for what what it’s worth my non-skier friends like when I play Big Picture videos. Big jumps, good music, positive/lighthearted and energetic

Any hood crew movie, always get the homies stoked
I think few words would be good because it’s a documentary about the life and career of candide. It’s more then just skiing and would make anyone hyped and passionate about skiing in general.
McConkey is a sure bet. That movie has a lot crammed into it. I actually got my parents to watch the whole thing. They tend to leave the room on opening segments.
I would say Few Words since it's sort of a documentary and a skimovie in one
All times are Eastern (-4)
