When you watch a bunch of ski movies featuring huge backcountry lines in Alaska, Canada, and other massive playgrounds, it’s easy to forget that most professional skiers had to learn everything on resort. The movies we watch don’t always do a great job at inspiring you to look around your local ski area to find ways to get creative.
If you followed us closely through last winter, there’s a chance you’ve seen us talk about Sage Cattabriga-Alosa‘s Let’s Take A Lap YouTube series. If you don’t know it, essentially Sage follows a professional skier around a ski resort all day, cuts it up, and makes a sweet edit for us to enjoy. Its focus is on the ski areas, and how professional skiers look at the potential features on the slopes.
We’re talking about Mount Bachelor, Alta, and Snowbird, so they’re pretty playground-heavy ski areas, but it’s still super cool to see how they take advantage of side-hits and other features that we might not even see.
To celebrate the end of 2023, Cattabriga-Alosa dropped a year-in-review highlight reel, featuring the best hits and tricks from some pretty gosh-darn stellar skiers throughout the past season. It’s pretty cool to think back to how epic last year was, and to see how these skiers took advantage of the record-breaking snowfall totals.
More Let’s Take A Lap videos are apparently coming soon, and we can’t wait to see them. But, in the meantime, watch this highlight reel and the episodes of the past.
“With 2023 coming to a close I wanted to put out a “Best Of” episode before releasing some new content. I chopped up a bunch of last seasons episodes to make this super mash up with, Andrew Pollard, Jacob Callahan, Bode Barrett, Grant Howard, Marrissa Krawczak, Finn Bilous, Ross, Tester, Mitchell Brower, and more.“
