For some, it’s always been Armada Ornada

In the epoch of instant gratification and endless instagram clips, waiting two years for a team movie drop seems almost archaic. The way we consume skiing has changed. Rare are the projects that make us put aside the pocket-sized artificial dopamine dispensers, dust off the “big screen” long relegated to the fringes of the communal doom scrolling space once known as a living room, and hold our attention from longer than you can say, “Did you see that reel I sent you?”

Even scarcer are films that can sell out packed theatres across continents and leave organizers scrambling for more dates. Armada’s first full team project has done all of this and more.

Ornada feels like a bridge between eras. It’s a throwback to the films you used to watch on VHS until the tape wore through, with its rider’s segments and inventive introductions. Ornada is a journey where the past and future of freeskiing intersect with trippy visuals and an original score. The artistic vision of MadSteeze meets revolutionary skiing of the Armada team so stacked with legends, the titles read more like a Hall of Fame list than a cast, bringing together stars of the Teddy Bear Crisis and those not old enough to remember it.

It’s a reminder of that annual excitement that had you rushing to buy cinema tickets, or waiting impatiently for the DVD to arrive at your parents’ doorstep. A reminder that those films truly changed the scene, one segment at a time. Gone are those days, but with riders like Tanner Hall, Mike Hornbeck and Phil Casabon still pushing out breathtaking segments late into the sunsets of their careers, proves that mastery, creativity, and pure fun don’t have an expiration date. Watching Ornada, it’s impossible not to feel the thrill of those original ski films all over again.
