Inspirational films for you from the Snow-Forecast.com team

Snowdown intro

Our favourite snow films.

Stay home, stay safe, stay positive.

The current Global situation saw a premature end to the Northern Hemisphere ski season and many of us are doing our bit to slow the spread of the virus by staying safe at home. Our teams are still working remotely to support our users and develop the websites for when we can get back outside.

Now that we have more time, and the need for inspiration counts more than ever, we're going to share some of our favourite videos for you to watch.

The Sky Piercer

2018, Red Bull
The Sky Piercer
Duration: 43 minutes
New Zealand is the land of adventure and "Sky Piercer" sees four World Champion athletes take on the iconic peak of Mt. Cook, the country's highest mountain.

Last Paradise

Clive Neeson
Duration: 94 minutes
The World's greatest story of adventure and innovation. Set in the beautiful wilderness of New Zealand, a daredevil bunch of kids in the 60's experimented with something that would change the world of adventure travel. Relive their global quest for adrenalin in 45 years of stunning original footage.

(This is a buy/rent film, but the producers have offered 50% off with code "snow forecast". Could be the best £1.50 you've spent in a while!)

The Eternal Beauty of Snowboarding

2016, Jérôme Tanon
Movie preview
Duration: 46 minutes
Snowboard photographer and film maker Jerome Tanon has put together a "supercut-style edit" that shows the backstage of snowboard movie making. One of Ed Leigh's favourite films, he says it's "a beautiful, funny and honest search for some kind of meaning in snowboarding AND a send up of the way all snowboarding 'content' has traditionally been compiled."
