About the Film:
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, soundtracked by an original live scored performance. 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.
