The wait is over and we’ve got the final results from the 2025 GoPro Line of the Winter contest. Every month since January, a team of judges, including the legendary Ingrid Backstrom, Matchstick Productions veteran Scott Gaffney, Olympian Elena Hight, Out of Collective founder & host Adam Jaber and the snowboarder we all wish was a skier, Sage Kotsenburg, have been picking their favorite runs.
Each month, a men’s and women’s winner has been selected, receiving $5k. But the overall prize deserves something extra, so GoPro doubled the cash and awarded $10k to overarching top male and female champions. These are the runs the judges deemed to be the best out of every clip submitted this winter. That’s some heavy competition, but in the end, two familiar faces rose to the top.
Check out the 2025 GoPro Line of the Winter over winning ski runs below.
Canadian freeski superstar Justine Dufour-Lapointe can now add GoPro Line of the Winter Champion to her trophy list. That marks a hell of a winter for Dufour-Lapointe, as she also secured the 2025 Freeride World Tour Women’s Ski Title this past March.
Her Line of the Winter winning run is actually from the 2025 Val Thorens FWT competition. The conditions lined up well with a stable base and a foot of fresh snow coating the venue. Dufour-Lapointe dialed in several big airs, clean turns and capped it off with a fluid backflip on her way to second place at Val Thorens and an overall Tour title.
For being injured for a massive chunk of the last few months, Craig Murray has had himself an incredible winter. As the first-ever Natural Selection Ski Men’s Champion, Murray went to Alaska with low expectations, but he put his mind and body on the line amidst tricky snow conditions, and it was worth it in the end.
Here, he can be seen cooking down a giant spine. Take a look at how fast the sun-bleached snow skims by as he holds on and rides the fall line after that stomped 360! Throw in a backie and a few more calculated high-speed slash turns and you’ve got a $10k ski run.
Thanks to GoPro and the team for another year of this great digital contest! We can’t wait for the next rendition. Be sure to submit your clips when the time comes.
