From iconic shots of bare-assed chairlift riding to cliff airs wearing nothing more than socks and a smile, Valhallaโ€™s naked ski segment is already sparking laughter through dark cinemas across the world, with skiers and non-skiers alike.

Patagonia Presents: in association with Dynafit, Powder Magazine, and Whitewater Resort an excerpt fromย Sweetgrass Productionsโ€™ย VALHALLA. Starring Cody Barnhill, Sierra Quitiquit, Alex Monot, Pep Fujas, Zack Giffin, Eric Hjorleifson, Molly Baker, and Kazushi Yamauchi

Beyond action sportsโ€“ with Valhallaโ€™s totally unique style and structure, weโ€™ve recognized an opportunity to put a daring new spin on the ski film, exploding the boundaries of the genre, opening the eyes and melting the hearts of any story-loving soul. With hard-hitting ski and snowboard action complimenting a more narrative-driven approach than our past films, or perhaps any other ski movie before it, we follow one manโ€™s escape into the Northern woods, and his wild journey towards satisfaction, understanding, and love in some of the deepest snows on earth.

Weaving story and character with award-winning, face-melting backcountry ski and snowboard cinematography; Valhalla is a vivid explosion of color, character, snow, and nostalgic soul.
