Labor Day has finally come and gone. The days are shorter and the nights have replaced the mid-summer heat with a cool crispness throughout the mountains. Soon the white mana from the sky will fall. But until then, it’s time for our next favorite season. No, it’s not fall… but rather the 2023 ski & snowboard movie premiere season! Keep checking in as we continue to add to this list as more ski & snowboard movie trailers are released.
2023 Ski Movie Premieres
Teton Gravity Research – Legend Has It
Ski lore is riddled with stories, sometimes of unknown origin, describing plausible but extraordinary past events. Often shared on chairlifts, the skintrack, or over a beer, these legendary tales, whether it be mythical storm cycles, heroic feats, or whispers of fantastical terrain, all contribute and shape our present experience. For 28 years, Teton Gravity Research has been traveling the globe with the best athletes to the most incredible locations often based on this fabled history to uncover the experience… and sometimes creating legends of our own along the way.

Matchstick Productions – The Land Of Giants
The story of man vs. mountain is one that has captured our imaginations for centuries. But what if MSP flipped the script? What if, instead of focusing on the human element, we took a closer look at the mountains themselves?
That’s the premise of The Land of Giants, a new ski film that explores the most iconic mountains on Earth. From the Fjords of Norway to the spines of Alaska, we will get to know and understand the canvas that creates the most mind-melting moments in skiing. But most importantly, we’ll come to appreciate their sheer beauty and power. Captured with revolutionary cinematography combined with genre bending music, The Land of Giants is not to be missed.
