What's your favourite segment of the whole film?! 🤔
Ruka!!
The entire thing
Ruka and Verbier with the boys.
I loved the first! Ruka was also nice.
I love Verbier !!!
Have an amazing winter everyone ❤️
You too 🥰
Same 2 u)
Right back atcha
Letssss go right around the corner
Guys you need to give me the spotify profile of the person who is searching for a songs to your videos. He has great taste in music!
I know I'm way late, but try shazaming it if you still like these tunes!
hyped for this season now!
How'd redbull let you in this?
And the majority of the other skiers in this...
A hall the goat🐐

Best skier!!!
Dude at 5:50 wearing the mouth guard but no helmet definitly has his priorities straight lmao
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!
This is soooo rad. Wishing u a blast shredding this season!!!!
Film it
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 ...
This is pretty cool!! Awesome! Winner!
Daniel Hanka is the one true shifty king, its so epic
Oh thank you🙏🏻
The cork 9 tho
6:16 Chapter 2 Attitude - it's just unbelievably beautiful! The whole video - Epic footage, epic drone pilots, world class skiers, fantastic stunts, excellent music, gorgeous landscapes... Thank you so much for that joy!
My god, how do I even describe this. The second it starts, you already feel and know inside what kind of a bomb is going to drop on you. This is honestly the best piece of ski cinematography. As you watch you feel something inside, the same feeling that the rider felt when stood above the line. The same feeling YOU felt standing above your line on your skis. That feeling is something you cannot appreciate enough. The music, the angles, the jumps, the pure feeling of send-it! I feel like I'm standing in the snow fall for the first time in my life, yet it has been two years since I even saw snow like this. This honestly is not just a compilation of ski shots, not just a movie.This is something unwordly and uniquely amazing and happiness bringing, that it could be prescribed as antidepresants.This is honestly and from the deepest parts of me amazing.I wish I could've been on the world tour. WOW!
THIS!!!! 🙏
I love red Bull ❤️
The verbier segment was NUTS
Antti 👑
The robot sanding was really interesting to see. There's a lot shown that many manufacturers hide.
Oh man, as soon as chapter 5 started...I'd recognize that parking lot and terrain anywhere. Love Baker
Can’t wait for this 🙌
Let's goooo!
Alex Hall is really proving to be one of the greats of this time. So incredibly creative and perfect executions!
him and matej are absolutely nuts
40:47 Legends say he is still holding the safety
Chapter 5 - connection is the best segment for me
The drone shots in this one are unreal!
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.
Best resort in the world
@@tightirl definitely to each their own but if I’ve ever seen a sport that women and men are even relatively close it’s been snow sports to be fair 🤷🏼♂️
@@ggbooliano rock climbing
What type of roots are we talking about here? 🧐
🎿🎿🎿
The roots of freedom.
.... From massive airs in parks of groomed magic and mechanical lifts... to snow covered, sun kissed mountainous blissful Freedom.... That kinda Freeeeeeedom!👌 Connecting with other like minded people and the vibe that it brings anywhere on the mountain!!
@@cosmicpuma1409 Q
Salzburg!
just wow, what a masterpiece. cant't wait to come back and watch this with my kids
😍😍😍
Already liked the video
❤️
I think this video just changed my life
I think I've watched this at least 100 times now
man chapter 3 with the FPV shots was absolutely beautiful
The unnat trip from Mac was INSANE🥵
Elisabeth!!! That line from 14:32 is the best line ever! Absolute banger. Wow, congrats, very very well done
HOW DID I MISS THIS!! Glad I am here now
Sébastien Tellier en outro ça régale
Those girls RIP!!!
I could watch it 100 times. Ski level out of this world , “réalisation extraordinaire” and soundtrack from another galaxy 🔥🔥🔥 Ruka & Dolomites insane
Forever my favourite ski film
Loved that weird butter sw rodeo thingy at 8:48
The drone pilots and skiing cameramen are excellent. Amazing shots as always. Always great content from Red Bull!
this is etienne merel, he is from faction. No redbull here
Speechless..
Pure beauty! Movie making in skiing like it supposed to. Great skiers, insane slopes, gorgeous backdrops. Honestly, a piece of art🤩
Looking forward to some incredible skiing and amazing tunes!
Wow, The skiing !! The music!!! And the drone footage is a game changer!! This has been added to the list of greatest ski films ever, its up there with GNAR!!!!
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!
wowww gave me chills.. the last segment with this song was crazy, best edit ever
Probably the best skimovie I have seen ever.
Finally, the Collaboration we have all been waiting for 😍😩🔥💯
Lived in Chamonix for 5 years... amongst other mountain heavens that were my home for years.... Living in Cape Town SA, miss the snow so much. This vid makes the longing feel like loving again!! Awesome work and thank you so much!!
doing a great job getting people stoked for season! faction!
What about soundtrack?! I love it!!🔥🔥👌👯♀️
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!
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
Beautiful piece of art right here, incredible skiers
You should get many awards for this. Well done!!!👍🏻💪
Chapter 5 slayed!!!
Thanks for the masterclass guys !
Outstanding skiing AND great soundtrack 💯
This piece of art deserves much more views! This is probably my 10th time watching it... Just awesome!
unbelievable! awesome production. amazing skiing. LETS GOOOOO!!
Much appreciated 🙏 Faction crew absolutely killed it on all fronts!
Thank you very much for sharing Spotify playlist. Great film content, great music content!
what a great movie also the different chapters give a nice variety! love it and the dub backie over the whole slope was insane🔥
Ruka is so surreal!
This is just gorgeous and well done, love it!
Still my favorite ski video of all time.
you guys are legends man!
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.
Como siempre, tremenda calidad de videos!!
juste incroyable et magnifique
This was an amazing film. Red Bull Snow making a run for favorite channel right now. Great content everyone.

Incredible work once again Etienne. Absolutely love the film!!!
Those Drone shots around 14:00 HOLY FKIN SHIT this is Awesome!!!
