The Faction Collective Presents: La Grave | 4K

With no ropes, no pistes and no one telling you where you can and can’t go, La Grave represents a very special type of freedom rarely found in other alpine ski areas.

Narrated by a community of locals who have been freeriding in La Grave for the past two decades, and who still reside there today, this short ski film follows Sam Anthamatten and Johnny Collinson as they discover the steep faces, burly lines and unique collective spirit at the heart of La Grave.

quite pleasing to watch a ski movie for once and actually recognise the terrain, even if I didn't quite ski the same lines....

Peut-être la meilleur vid de ski j´ai vu

[sweav]

What a work of art.. beautifully shot, bravo faction

[KyleRattay]

Doug Coombs I believe was the first American to openly pioneer La Grave! He paved the way! Hope you can give tribute to the ones that got you there! It’s not the sponsors it’s the people like Doug Coombs and Bill Brigs!

6:49. That seemed so dangerous. Like asking to fall in a glacier well/ crevasse.
