Once in a blue moon there comes an athlete that changes the sport forever, a legend. Tom Brady is doing it for football, John Florence for surfing and Henrik Harlaut for freeskiing. SALUTE is a 2-year ski movie project by Henrik Harlaut showcasing the dedication, history and unique lifestyle that led to his dominance over nearly every discipline of the sport of freeskiing (from competitions, the streets and the backcountry) alongside some of the world’s best skiers. Henrik’s approach and outlook on his true love is one you seldom come by. To truly transcend a field is to give yourself to it. The discipline and drive required are often lost on the onlooker, they see the final product but rarely think about what it took to get there. With this movie, Henrik also wanted to throw back to the old days when style mattered, when it was all about filming and waiting to show it the next fall. This is a SALUTE to Freeskiing.
