50 STEPS - Chasing fleeting weather windows with grit and laughter


Antti Autti and Tailer Gray team up in Lyngen to chase fleeting weather windows, navigating the unpredictable spring conditions in search of quality lines. As they move through the mountains, they link up with Finnish freeriders Arto Majava and Saana Saltevo, whose presence brings both inspiration and perspective. Between storm cycles and summit pushes, the group shares moments of calm and riding clean snow, reconnecting with the roots of freeriding, and witnessing the northern lights dance overhead in the Arctic sky. A story about grit, laughter, and the willingness to embrace uncertainty, all in the name of freeriding’s
purest moments.

 

PROJECT FREERIDE
 

Project Freeride is a film that follows Luke Bohemians journey into fatherhood, looking back at his past and own relationship to parenthood as he seeks solace in the backcountry. Amidst the challenges of being a self-employed content creator and facing grief, this project will explore the untold stories that lie beneath the filtered snapshots of life, all whilst pursuing my obsession and the grounding that is snowboarding. We follow Luke throughout a year as he learns to snowboard, as well as how to heal from grief through his relationships to the outdoors, to winter, and to his partner Tyler, and their first child, Maia.

 


The Meaning of Life - Excerpts from the Diary of an Office Worker
 

A witty, bittersweet reflection on office life versus the Instagram-perfect mountain lifestyle. Through dry humor and sharp observation, the piece draws parallels between these worlds: the office’s mid-morning cake break versus après-ski, crowded supermarkets versus crowded ski cafés, routine deadlines versus routine descents. Both offer moments of joy, frustration, and the quiet satisfaction of small achievements—whether that’s skiing a clean line or heating up lunch in the microwave. Skiers: Jan-Erik Blomberg, Jani Hujanen, Erik Farnesi von Hofsten, Filming & Editing: Jan-Erik Blomberg.

In the first part, Roope Avela, Jani Hujanen and Iiro Salonen adventure in the long and steep gorges of Arolla.
