The cinematographer/filmaker Guido Perrini has released his look back over the last ten years in a new film called Twenty.
Ten years ago on epic Tyrone Shoelaces posted a film. It was freely available on Vimeo, about 45 minutes long, called Ten. A collection of shots and interviews from Perrini's ten years in the business.
If you've got a group of non skiers over, or skiers who don't know a lot about the wider world of skiing, two films come to mind to watch. Steep, and Ten. Ten covers the years 1998-2008, of free riding and in interviews attempts to define it. It's Eurocentric, Jeremy Jones was the only name I knew. The nice thing about that is the riders come from a background of alpinism. The explanations of why they freeride might just get through to non skiers of why you ski at all, even in a resort. The avalanche scene at the end is mindblowing. Taken by the slide a kilometer down the slope, he survives, but barely.
If you saw La Liste, posted here some time ago, that was Jeremie Heitz. He's the next generation featured in Twenty. He's like a combo of Patrick Vallencant, JC Killy, and Herman Maier. Skiing 45-55 degree pitches in the Alps at super g speeds, like it was Alaska.
There's two women snowboarders featured. Only one is still alive. Part of wether one should go on or not gets explored a little. The guy who was twenty in Ten is now forty in Twenty and has a child. Things change.
Xavier de Le Rue, almost killed in the avalanche in the previous film, decides he'll look for ice in the mountains and board over that. At least that spot won't slide.
Well worth watching.
Here's Ten
