You know the feeling, the one where you are watching a badass send their body down a line that looks insane. The next thing you know, you’re beyond stoked to get out there yourself and chase your own moment of awe. Watching ski films can inspire you. The power of ski / extreme sport movies can not be understated. They show us to think bigger.
Female ski movies used to be a concept that was just a dream. Now, the industry's top female shredders are out there making their feature films. You don’t have to go too far back in time to watch any of the older ski films ( 2010’s and older, yea we are aging ourselves right now ) to notice a simple theme. Every dope ski movie would have these incredible athletes for about an hour and a half only to see possibly one, maybe three females tops in short segments. With men dominating the screen time.
There has been an incredible shift over the last few years with some of the raddest female shredders producing, starring, writing, and putting in the work for female ski movies. Here are seven ski movies that every female shredder needs to see.

Pretty Faces: The Story of a Ski Girl
Lynsey Dyer was the first pro female skier to do something that no one has ever done. Not only did Lynsey create the first ski movie that is all female, but it was also the first movie of its kind to be crowd-sourced on Kickstarter.
