The Downdays Trailer Yard: All 2025 ski movie trailers

ORNADA | Armada Team Movie

www.armadaskis.com

What they say: ORNADA is the Armada Team Movie we’ve all been waiting for. It’s the culmination of Armada’s contribution to freeskiing and the culture that surrounds it. A two-year labor of love, ORNADA fuses revolutionary skiing and artistic vision into a one-of-a-kind film, accompanied by an original live scored soundtrack. It’s a journey to the dreamlike realms of the sport where the past and future intersect with surreal visuals featuring Armada’s endlessly imaginative athletes slaying everything from the steepest lines in AK to rowdy street sessions and elaborate park setups.

What we say: Two years in the making, Armada has unveiled ORNADA—a full-length team movie that blends boundary-pushing skiing with surreal visuals. Armada’s roster has more legends than the hall of fame and the whole crew came together on this one— it’s going to be wild.

Featuring: Tanner Hall, Dani Bacher, Olivia Asselin, Kim Boberg, Mike Hornbeck, Sammy Carlson, Quinn Wolferman, Henrik Harlaut, Rell Harwood, Keagan Supple, Kuura Koivisto, Toby Rafford, Todd Ligare, Phil Casabon & many more.

After the Snowfall | Matchstick Productions

matchstickpro.com/

What they say: After the Snowfall is a high-octane and heartfelt journey through the culture and chaos of modern skiing. Filmed in stunning locations from the Lyngen Alps of Norway to the heli-accessed steeps of British Columbia, the film showcases an elite crew of skiers, including Michelle Parker, Nikolai Schirmer, Nico Porteous, Caite Zeliff, and more, pushing boundaries with jaw-dropping style and skill.

But this is not just a story about pros. It is about the everyday ski bum, the weekend warrior, and the mountain town lifer whose passion burns just as bright. Interwoven throughout the action are honest and irreverent reflections from both athletes and everyday skiers on what skiing means to them; why they risk injury, chase fleeting storms, and build their lives around snow. The film explores both the literal mountains they climb and the internal terrain they navigate: personal growth, camaraderie, obsession, and joy.

What we say: Have Matchstick ever missed?! Not in our books. And if this trailer is anything to go by Matchstick have done it again with their tried and tested blend of aesthetically stunning cinematography and hard-charging riders. If this doesn’t get you fired up for winter, I don’t know what will.

Featuring: Mark Abma, Dennis Ranalter, Logan Pehota, Craig Murray, Janelle Yip, Nico Porteous, Jess Hotter, Finn Bilous, Ben Richards, Tonje Kvivik, Marcus Goguen, John Rollins, Nadine Wallner, Coline Ballet-Baz, Michelle Parker, Caite Zeliff, Sam Cohen, Xander Guldman, Sam Smoothy, Karl Fostved, Parker White, Nikolai Schirmer, Jacob Wester

Pressure Drop | Teton Gravity Research

tetongravity.com

From Norway to Jackson Hole, Pressure Drop follows the world’s top skiers and snowboarders through deep powder, huge cliffs, and iconic lines. Born from a dream and forged on the edge, this isn’t just our 30th annual film, it’s a tribute to the fleeting moment when breath slows, gravity takes over, and everything else fades.

Shot on location in: Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Lofoten Islands, Norway, Valdez, Alaska, Grand Targhee, Wyoming, Interior British Columbia, Haines, Alaska, Palisades Tahoe, California.

What we say: Do you feel as old as we do? TGR is 30 years old already?! Luckily it seems to be aging like a fine wine. We can’t wait for this 30th birthday celebration.

Duo | Mac Forehand

What they say: “Duo” is a 2 year long back country ski project with skiing by myself Mac Forehand and filming from Jacques Price. Very excited to show the world what we’ve been up to over the past couple years!

What we say: One of the best contest skiers in the game putting in work in the back country—we love to see it! Maybe Mac will show us two sides of his skiing?

Featuring: Mac Forehand

Cold Calls | Blank Collective Films

www.qualityskitimefilmtour.com

What they say: COLD CALLS is a ski film pieced together through conversations, memories, and whatever the season decided to offer. From storm cycles in whistler to deep days in japan, big terrain in norway, and rare sun in alaska, each call brought a different story — some hilarious, some heavy, most somewhere in between. What came out wasn’t exactly planned, but it felt right.

What we say: If you gave us a feature length cut of Josh Daiek’s headcam footage from the season, we would be more than happy. Blank Collective, as always, looks to be going above and beyond this and it looks like an epic.

Featuring: Emma Patterson, Alexi Godbout, Jacob Belanger, Alex Armstrong, Bernt Marius Rorstad, Josh Daiek, Wyatt Gentry, Tom Peiffer

Out of the Ordinary | Head & Tyrolia

What they say: Out of the Ordinary is the third installment in HEAD Freeskiing’s film series but don’t expect a
sequel. This isn’t just a follow-up to Beyond and Unified. It’s a detour – equal parts tribute,
chaos, and confession, the film dives headfirst into the beautifully bizarre world of skiing and the
HEAD team individuals who make it what it is.

Told through lodge life misadventures, impulsive strike missions, DIY jump zones, and endless
ski touring days. From the Arlberg to the Sunnmøre Alps, AK to Japan, and of course BC, Out of
the Ordinary captures the soul of a team bonded by obsession, oddball charm, and pure
powdery stoke.

From winding Fjord pavement to plywood outhouses with million-dollar views, this film embraces
skiing in all its unpredictable glory. Featuring Freeride World Tour champions, backcountry
icons, Olympic medalists, and one of a kind individuals, Out of the Ordinary is a reminder of why
we chase winter and why we never really grow out of it.

What we say: Head & Tyrolia stepping up the game once more and are starting to give MSP a run for their money in terms of epic, stoke-inducing trailers!

Featuring: Abel Moga, Jess Hotter, Xander Guldman, Hedvig Wessel, Tao Kreibich, Emil Granbom, Sam Cohen, Jenna Keller, Jordy Kidner, Ian Morrison, Meg Cumming, Evan Mceachran, Jonathan Rollins, Zoe Atkin, Cole Richardson, Jesper Tjader, David Meier, Adam Kuch, Len Kohler, Luke Miele, Floyd Guy, Oliver Movenius, Sandra Eie, Stephen Lindsay-Ross, Steven Kahnert, Sven Pillex, Joel Macnair, Sabrina cakmakli, Aksel Lund Svindal

Endorphin | Manon Loschi

What they say: “Endorphin”, a short ski film by Manon Loschi & Hunter Paull.
It’s a unique concept between skiing and natural hormones secreted in the brain, called endorphins. Discover this creative visual experience in fall 2025 on the big screen and on YouTube.

What we say:Manon’s first solo project alongside the talented Hunter Paull exhibits both their mastery. Manon has taken the freeride scene by storm, winning Natural Selection and FWT tour stops on the first time of asking. Her controlled, powerful style is a recognisable signature of where she grew up. Maybe she will become the new poster-girl of La Clusaz.

Featuring: Manon Loschi

Too True | Entourage

What they say: Entourage’s 6th consecutive film, “Too True.” Dropping online in November 2025.

What we say: Riding the wave of success from last year’s offering, SODA, the entourage crew are back and at it again. Expect technical backcountry bangers, heavy street spots and good vibes.

Featuring: Entourage Gang

Fingers Crossed | A film by Rudy Lepine and Tristan Steen

What they say: Coming to you fall 2025. With support from ‪@level1‬ ‪@ON3PSkiCo‬ ‪@SURFACESKIS1‬ ‪@vulgus365‬ ‪@capeeshsupply‬

What we say: A core offering with the support of Level 1 has our attention and it should have yours too.

Featuring: Chris Boyer, Edouard Theriault, and Tom Galarneau

inefficient joy _ | Simply. Recreation Club

simplyrc.co/

What they say: inefficient joy _ is an experimental ski film exploring the paradox of dedicating so much time and energy to something as fleeting as the moments we all chase throughout the winter. In doing so, it reflects on why we do what we do revealing the inexplicable joy that skiing brings.

What we say: The film will be released online in early December but will be on tour throughout the autumn in Annecy, Ruka and Warsaw. The previous two Simply. films have been works of art—we don’t expect this to be any different.

Featuring: Sampo Vallotton, Laurent De Martin, Daniel Loosli, Jenn Folkesson, Anouck Brodard, Alice Michel.

TANDEM | Alicia Cenci

What they say: Maude, the loud and spontaneous daughter of Bagnes farmers, and Elisabeth, a hypersensitive introvert raised in the city, forge an unexpected friendship through their shared love of freeriding. Blending humor, vulnerability, and freedom, Tandem offers an intimate portrait of this one-of-a-kind duo, united by skiing—against all odds.

What we say: An unlikely duo coming together to shred the back country of the Swiss Alps, united in their passion for the mountains.

Featuring: Elisabeth Gerritzen and Maud Besse

VORTEX | OS Crew

What they say: Our 10th annual ski film. Thank you all for supporting us. It wouldn’t be possible without you!

Reno, NV – The Market – 10/25

McCall – Downtown – 11/8

What we say: OS Crew’s tenth offering takes them from strength to strength. Vortex has an OG ski film vibe to it: Gnarly street spots, back country bangers and a private slushy park shoot to cap it off. It’s going to be a belter.

Featuring: Mason Kennedy, Kyle Johnston, Trevor Hattabaugh, Ben Moxham, Ian Russell, Graham Gray, Anton Holter, Josh Kärcher, Jack Feick, Nikolay Dobrianov, Lucas Sizzla, Danner Brummer, Colin Dexter, Nathan Goddard, Chris Colgan, Keegan O’Brien, Juice Kennedy

Return To The Why | Jacob Wester

What they say: Trollvasstind North face, Lyngen Alps, Norway. A wall of snow, ice and rock, that until recently was only described in the local guide books as a climbing route. A place where any mistake most likely means certain death. For most people, the question of why certain skiers are drawn to the idea of climbing and skiing these lines is a legitimate one, and for Swedish freeskier Jacob Wester, answering it is paradoxically both easy and difficult.

What we say: Jacob Wester goes ever further into the ski mountaineering world, exploring the insanely aesthetic peaks of the Lyngen Alps. The more we see of these amazing mountains, the more we want to book a trip up north. Watching Jacob ski never disappoints.

Featuring: Jacob Wester, Jakob Weger, Matthias Weger

Mountains of the Moon | a Chris Benchetler Film Experience

What they say: Without darkness, we cannot see the light.

In Mountains of the Moon, world renowned artist and skier, Chris Benchetler explores the unseen connections between sport, life, music, and the living earth—set to the timeless tunes of the Grateful Dead.

Captured almost entirely at night using cutting-edge cinematography, lasers, animation, and projection mapping, the film leads viewers on a surreal journey through ocean, river, and mountain landscapes. The world’s greatest athletes, adventurers, and thinkers appear as luminous figures, navigating through the natural world.

At its core, the film reflects on what makes us human. The glowing skeletons represent the essential truth of our existence, the light within us all no matter our external differences. Through their journey, the film reflects on life and death, the resilience of nature, and the threads of humanity that bind us together.

What we say: This is our first look at what Chris Benchetler has been cooking up—and it looks wild. This idea was ambitious to say the least, but it looks like they might have pulled it off. This is going to be sensory experience.

Featuring: Chris Benchetler, Mickey Hart, Rob Machado, Michelle Parker, Sam Kuch, Elena Hight, Danny Davis, Dennis Ranalter, Alannah Yip, Hamish McArthur, Sam Stroh, Carson Storch, Hannah Bergemann, Ryan Howard, Casey Brown, Peter Benchetler, Tom Balfour, and Kimi Werner

What do you mean? | Cute Cafe

What they say: What do you mean? by Cute Café is a collection of good times from last winter: a mix of street, powder and spring riding at home and on a trip to Sweden.

What we say: Don’t let the name fool you,  hailing from western Switzerland, Cute Cafe are a badass, all-female crew that have been getting after it the last few years. This is their second film after last year’s Shy Latte and the crew looks to be going from strength to strength. The film premiers on 18 October in Lausanne. Get down to see one of the most core offerings coming out of the Alps this year.

Featuring: Anouck Brodard, Jennica Folkesson, Alice Michel, Elsa Sjöstedt, Eva-Maria Kobel, Martina Windlin

One Step Ahead | Blank Collective Films

What they say: One Step Ahead follows Norwegian skier Bernt Marius Rørstad as he gets back to doing what he loves: skiing big lines in the Sunnmøre Alps after losing his leg in an accident. The film captures the ups and downs of relearning the sport and working through the mental side of recovery. It’s a raw, honest look at what it takes to keep moving forward when everything changes.

What we say: An inspiring story of remarkable resilience. Bernt, be in no doubt we are more than impressed by your skiing—it’s almost unthinkable that you’re doing it with a prosthetic.

Featuring: Bernt Marius Rørstad

SIDEKICK | Picture Organic Clothing

What they say: Three friends, two riders and a filmmaker, who shape every run with their own style, where friendship blurs the line between freeride and freestyle. Eliot and Nathan ride together like it’s second nature, no words needed, because some bonds don’t need explaining. Released 4 October at High Five Festival — screening 8 at 1PM at Pathé, Annecy.

What we say: Directed by Antonin Rivet and filmed around their home region of the Tarentaise, SIDEKICK looks like a side-slashing, pow-pounding duet.

Featuring: Eliot Gorry, Nathan Thebaud

HOME TOUR | Axel Le Palabe

What they say: A project born in the 3 Vallées, to share our passion for skiing between generations. Skiing is basically a personal thing… but I didn’t experience this adventure alone! Behind every shot, every session, there’s a team. Talented riders, friends, people who give their all in front of and behind the camera.

What we say: Axel links up with fellow 3 Vallées locals, including Mat Roche, to give away some of the best kept secrets of one of the most famous ski resorts in the world.

Featuring: Axel La Palabe, Mathias Roche

til guan | Variance
