“The Vertical” | Victor Lourdel & Jordan Manoukian

Trailer: The Vertical | Starring Victor Lourdel Peak Performance YouTube

Synopsis:
We follow ski alpinist Victor Lourdel and his search for freedom in some of the world’s most unforgiving vertical terrain. Climbing rarely-attempted lines on ice-choked couloirs and towering alpine faces, Victor pushes through unpredictable conditions and high-consequence decisions, where even a single mistake could be fatal. With minimal gear and no room for error, he moves through the mountains on skill, nerve, and instinct, putting everything on the line for the feeling of freedom in The Vertical.

See “The Vertical” at the Peak Performance Vertical Film Tour in November–December 2025, and afterwards on YouTube.

“Endorphin” | Manon Loschi & Hunter Paull

ENDORPHIN | a ski film by Manon Loschi Manon Loschi YouTube

Synopsis:
“Endorphin” is a 10-minute short ski film, showcasing Manon’s best skiing during the 2025 winter. It’s combined with an artistic and creative concept about endorphins (natural hormones secreted in the brain, providing euphoria, analgesia and more) that creates a visual experience. This statement piece explores endorphins in a unique way, and the brain chemistry while skiing in different environments. The film travels to Japan, Alaska, British Columbia, Idaho, Northern Sweden and the French Alps, and tries to paint each aspect of endorphins in every location, going from focus and flow to elevation and lightness.
