Keep Your Clips Up #19: Best Ski Videos of the Week

Before long, we’ll be cozying up in the nearest movie theater to sit down and watch our favorite new ski films uninterrupted—the way it’s supposed to be. I don’t know about you, but ski videos on my iPhone or laptop don’t hit quite the same. Skiing is a visual and communal medium. It’s meant to be shared and, ideally, not relegated to a tiny screen, sandwiched between two Instagram reels from finance gurus telling you that if you haven’t saved $650,000 by the time you’re 25, you failed.

While we wait, the quick clips will have to do. And, as is the usual MO with Keep Your Clips Up , I’ve dug through the internet to find content that’s actually worth watching.

Mid-Line Satisfaction

Any day that Sam Kuch drops a clip—let alone three—is a good day. All three of his latest offerings rock, but the first one, which sees Kuch sniping a perfect transition mid-line, is the most satisfying by far. Some things are made to be watched more than once.

A Good Old Fashioned ACL Stress Test

This one goes out to all the knees. As skiers, we don’t give them nearly the respect they deserve, yet season after season, they show up and continue handling the perpetual abuse. Sure, sometimes the old ACL collapses, but if this clip from young shredder Jasper Rogers teaches us anything, it's that our collective knees need a raise. And some vacation time. Ouch.

And a Perfect Stomp

On the heels of claiming a coveted Red Bull sponsorship , Finn Bilous is reminding us that he’s still on top. This flat three off an enormous cliff is textbook, but the rideaway is what really sells the clip. Even when he’s riding between features, Bilous oozes confidence and style on skis. The new Red Bull bucket is clearly well-deserved.

Owen Leeper Gets Scary

Owen Leeper has a knack for finding and skiing the gnarliest terrain feature at any given mountain. Usually, that leads him to garden variety cliffs and chutes ("garden variety" might undersell what Leeper’s capable of)—this time, Leeper ticked off a line with even more exposure. The rockface descent is horrifying, but I might be more worried about getting on top of this thing. Here, slipping isn’t an option unless you’re OK with getting a mouthful of gravel.

Matěj Švancer Puts on a Rail Skiing Clinic

And now for a break from all the heart-in-your-throat big mountain antics. Not that Matěj Švancer’s taking it easy—far from it. I'll let his skiing do the talking.
