Good ski movies with chilled out soundtracks?

[schuss]

So, been out of the loop on ski movies and my toddler likes to sit on my lap and watch them to fall asleep for naps. What are some good choices?
Been working through my old movies, but many have the early 2000's screamo/metal soundtracks, so not necessarily a good fit. Keep your Tips up on redbull seems to be ok, but running out of episodes.

Nimbus' movie when the sky falls

Signatures by Sweetgrass.

Almost all ski movies over the past several years have chilled out on the music. Fortunately. I hated that screaming bullshit.

Salomon FreeskiTV always had good music choices and pretty chill. Nice content.

I love Stump's movies and particularly his ZTT soundtracks. I think Fisful of Moguls and Siberia have the more chilled soundtracks, but I also love Groove - Requiem in the Key of Ski's mix (Bjork, Seal, Ice-T, 808 State, Massive Attack)

Immersion?

Depends on how you feel about watching naked women with a toddler on your lap.

So which are the best ones? I'm seriously out of the loop.

Lots of the movies now have whiny dreary emo garbage. It is a shame. I loved the punk, rap and reggae (as well as Sublime and some ska influenced stuff) that was being put out a decade ago.

Although they were pretty heavy on jib footage, the Rage Film offerings had excellent soundtracks in the vein you might be looking for. It was pretty unique stuff for me. See "Enjoy" and "Such is Life" in particular (and there is some big mountain goodness in both). Their cinematography coupled with their pretty snazzy soundtracks often had me watching much more jib than I ever would have thought.

Although I guess I can't argue with Sweetgrass films, if the point is to put you to sleep. I loved Valhalla, but the first few movies were surefire to drop your eyelids. Beautifully shot, but the pace and music seemed to slow your heartbeat down to a crawl. I literally fell asleep the first views of both "Signatures" and "Hand Cut".

Also, I dig screaming metal like no other....holy crap do I.

But I have yet to see it done well with ski films. Not sure it will ever be a perfect fit. Hah!

Supervention had awesome soundtrack. It also has several of the best skiers in the world, the spectacular Norwegian nature and the best use of light and cinematic in a ski movie ever.

Go watch it.

Edit: How do you get the video to show inline like it does above with the valhalla movie?

[t.odd]

second Sweetgrass and Nimbus choices....else just mute and put on own chilled music?

[half-fast]

I usually like the music in meathead films

Thanks All!

Could not agree more. I remember seeing Hand Cut back in the day and really liking the footage, but not feeling the music angle. Came away from the film not entirely stoked (which is maybe part of their approach). For Solitaire and later, José González, et al haven't been really been my jam.

A Skier's Journey from Jordan Manley a few years back had mellow, but diverse soundtracks. Awesome storytelling and imagery.

2nds in Supervention, such a sick flic and it is (or was) on Netflix!

[PNWbrit]

Solitaire

(not a particularly great "ski movie" but fantastic music)

[Ignatius]

The Unparalleled movies have mellow soundtracks as I recall. G Love, and such. But I'm not sure how available those are these days - if you can find 'em, prices are probably cheap.

I thought Powderwhores movies tended toward the chill as well?

Be warned however that these flicks might turn your toddler into some kind of hippie tele skier.

i don't know if it's been said but I really enjoyed 'after the sky falls'

the skiing was absolutely fantastic and I loved the sound track / feel to it. A very relaxed one. Definitely anything from those guys.

Idea had some great tracks on it (down tempo). Same with Sweetgrass' Hand Cut (country blues, not to be mistook for country) Valhalla (psych rock). Tanner Hall's Believe had a decent soundtrack.
