Molly Baker is a good friend of ours and we’re fired up to see her getting some love in a major ski movie. Eliel Hindert is another good buddy who is rippin’ it apart in this vid. Valhalla looks to be unreal. Here’s what Sweetgrass has to say about it:
Beyond action sports– with Valhalla’s totally unique style and structure, we’ve recognized an opportunity to put a daring new spin on the ski film, exploding the boundaries of the genre, opening the eyes and melting the hearts of any story-loving soul. With hard-hitting ski and snowboard action complimenting a more narrative-driven approach than our past films, or perhaps any other ski movie before it, we follow one man’s escape into the Northern woods, and his wild journey towards satisfaction, understanding, and love in some of the deepest snows on earth.
Weaving story and character with award-winning, face-melting backcountry ski and snowboard cinematography; Valhalla is a vivid explosion of color, character, snow, and nostalgic soul.

Valhalla Trailer #1 was pretty trippy…
Zach and Molly crush it in their tiny house. What a life.
