Shot over the 2019-2020 season, this 17-minute film tells the story of “ski divas” who are pushing the boundaries of freedom, creativity, and sisterhood on and off the mountain. After years of freestyle competitions, Ballet-Baz wanted to focus on something else for the project: passion, creativity, and friendship.

Adventuring to undiscovered peaks together, plotting midnight-raids on inner-city handrails, lapping your home run until that last ray of sunshine disappears behind a distant ridge - Skiing is Collective. Some call it a tribe mentality, others call it a shared sense of purpose. This film is our definition, written by a diverse team, each with their own ideas, their own forms of expression. "The Collective" is more than a sum of its parts. No matter who you are or where you come from - it feels good to be part of something special.
