Bobby Brown’s Colorado Winter in “White Gold” Film
Bobby Brown's namei is synonymous with revolutionary park skiing and X Games gold. Yet, his 2024 project, the short film “White Gold,” shows his influence reaching far beyond manicured jump lines. This film offers a raw and pure look at a legendary athlete embracing the mountains he calls home. Moreover, it delivers high-level freestyle skiing deep in the Southern Colorado backcountry.
A Focus on the Freestyle Backcountry
White Gold isn’t just an edit. Instead, it stands as a focused testament to Bobby Brown’s renewed passion for applying his technical trick vocabulary to natural terrain. After making a major career pivot to focus on filming—a shift he discussed in a previous interview—he spent a dedicated winter mining for perfect conditions, resulting in this film.
The action unfolds in the San Juan Mountains, a range famous for steep, challenging, and remote terrain. The film features massive moments on local icons like the infamous Silverton road gap and the huge hucks off the Trestle near Telluride. Brown and his crew display a powerful mix of athleticism, creativity, and calculated risk. Ultimately, the film captures a true convergence of big-mountain exposure and progressive freestyle.
The Tools That Built the Vision
Pushing the limits of backcountry freestyle takes more than guts—it demands the right gear and vision. “White Gold” came to life with support from brands dedicated to progression and action. With Red Bull powering the entire production, Bobby Brown had everything he needed to redefine what’s possible on natural terrain.
The film’s energy, which Freeskier Magazine praised as a “triumphant return,” reflects the talent behind the lens and in the editing room.
