Alex Hall is really proving to be one of the greats of this time. So incredibly creative and perfect executions!

[@facknows]

Just before lockdown I went to Faction's premiere in London and in the raffle I won a pair of Prodigy 3s. My number was picked out of the hat by Sam Anthamatten and the skis handed to me by Alex Hall. Doesn't get much better than that right? They have been patiently waiting for their time and this season I've booked a month of skiing to make up for the only 2 seasons I've missed in my life. Hope my knees and back hold up dammit!

[@RedBullSnow]

This is soooo rad. Wishing u a blast shredding this season!!!!

[@Hugo-dm1dj]

Film it

[@fingmoron]

I had booked a few seasons worth and yet again covid strikes back. Hopefully you still get out there, best for me at this point will be some back country in scotland which is dependent on the weather ...

[@cosmicpuma1409]

This is pretty cool!! Awesome! Winner!

Really enjoyed chapter 3 (9:32), with Elizabeth Gerritzen giving a reality check followed by some amazing shots and music! Really inspired me to visit Verbier some day, which I think is the "secret" goal of Faction.

The robot sanding was really interesting to see. There's a lot shown that many manufacturers hide.

Loved all of it… the comment by Elizabeth Gerritzen, regarding adrenaline and what it means to her taking stock of her environment, is really dope!

[@RedBullSnow]

Much appreciated 🙏 Faction crew absolutely killed it on all fronts!

[@CptShiba]

Looking forward to some incredible skiing and amazing tunes!

[@wendyhuntingtonparkerfages8844]

Absolutely floored to watch these descents down incredibly tight couloires, the perfectly controlled 200% BOLD aerial jumps. Amazing Astrid, I'd be happy to get you conversational in English, if you ever come to this low altitude. We'd love to hear what you've got to say! And please do a movie kite surfing with your family, that's gotta be excellent for practicing jumps. Hearing these kids speak, those huge smiles, the sly ones too, the intense friendships, the ski slang, the sheer delight of adventure, youth and energy. By all means let them speak their own language, you can always translate with subtext. Please to all, never ski with an injury, absolutely never on an injured knee! Don't be afraid when you feel it's time to stop. Your lives are so precious, your ultra coolness has to be passed along to future generations, you've got the worlds greatest parents. What a thrill to watch, just excellent. Loved the playlist, the locations, snow and the filmography was impossibly stunning. Never in my life would I have attempted (or imagined) anything like this, yet you got me out there. Impossible to watch this sitting down, it totally pulls you in. Well done, all.

[@ferdinantlaem4069]

Just WOW. The camera angles are beautiful, everyone gave his/her best in his/her style of skiing. I'm gonna watch it more than one time this winter!

[@GNARwhalz]

The shot at 39:31 is one of my favorite shots I've ever seen in a ski movie. I can feel that speed through the screen 🏎. Whole segment is a banger

absolutely epic moves and video you got here. can you please make it strapped to one board too ?? im just pointing out to the diferrent functions of the brain....going sideways , not facing front of the track.... anyways i love the helicopter ski air time when you guys cross the skis, epic and brave

[@chaoshalofifa]

The music choice from the start to the credits is phenomenal. Goes perfectly with the magical skiing abilities these pros have 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ludovicmarquier2683]

I disagree with that. I'm so disapointed by the soundtrack...always quite the same house pop style music. Moutains and freeskiing goes way beyond than that in terms of spirit an feelings. The Collective by Faction was better even if for me any ski movie has reach the level of Candid's movie "Few Words". It's fustrating because indeed actions are crazy and riders are rocking

[@maxkjellbergg]

16:15 what he says is so true

[@BesnikKallaba]

I wish I could jump like them :D

[@gofres]

I was there last week. From the videos, it didn't seem that bad. From the lift up, it didn't seem that bad. From the top of the slope.... It did seem that bad!
