Truancy Ski Film Trailer— A Different Kind of Report Card

Athletes: Mack Winterberger, Zeb Schreiber, Ryan Lapp, Owen McKibbin
Filmed & Edited by: Wade Peek
Locations: Palisades Tahoe; Donner Summit Backcountry; Mt. Hood; Cardrona, New Zealand

The Truancy Crew just dropped the trailer to their new film. It looks to be a heater. When skiing is reduced to podiums and points, you miss the reasons people fell in love with it in the first place. Truancy peels back that layer. Shot and cut by Wade Peek, the film follows Mack Winterberger, Zeb Schreiber, Ryan Lapp, and Owen McKibbin across a year of chasing snow from the Tahoe basin to Oregon’s volcanic spine and the Southern Alps of New Zealand—not to tally results, but to show who they are when the bibs come off.

The spark for the title comes from real life: somewhere between road miles, storm cycles, and sunrise shoots, Wade started getting school-issued truancy notices. The word stuck. It became a banner for the film’s core idea—skipping the expected to pursue what matters.

Full Film drops November 1st and running time is 12 minutes.

Ski culture spends a lot of time measuring. Truancy chooses to listen. Youth skiing builds judgment, resilience, and community. The Truancy crew shows that growth—less about results, more about teamwork, risk awareness, and conduct when the bibs come off. When young athletes create their own content, they own the story—discipline in the shoot, reflection in the edit—and inspire the next wave of shredders
