This article is about the genre of iconic ski films. For mainstream films with skiing in them, see List of mainstream films with skiing scenes.
Feature length documentary films about skiing, skiers, and the ski lifestyle, shot in various locations around the world and featuring the best skiers of the day, have been released annually since 1940. Although not distributed through normal film channels, these movies have long been exhibited in ski town theaters and bars and, more recently, distributed on videocassette and DVD. More than 200 such videos debuted in 2006.[1] Notable examples are listed at the Ski and Snowboard Film Institute,[2] and have received awards from the International Ski Film Festival,[3] IF3 International Freeski Film Festival, Cold Smoke Award,[4] Powder Magazine,[5] or similar. Early ski films were also made by Arnold Fanck, Frank Howard,[6] and others.
