Our friends at the Blank Collective have become a household name when it comes to annual ski films. Led by Alexi Godbout, this Salomon-backed team has created some incredible projects. If you’re looking for evidence of this, the 2021 iF3 Ski Movie of the Year “Tales From Cascadia,” is always worth a rewatch.
This year, their feature film, “Camp Blank,” gives us a look back on winter 2024. The project certainly follows some familiar formulas we’ve seen before, but as to be expected, the skiing is off the charts. When compared to previous years, the Blank Collective athlete lineup has shrunk. Nevertheless, this crew got it done in grand fashion. It’s a freeride feast for the ages.

CAMP BLANK – 2024
Camp Blank follows the Blank crew on their final trip of the ski season to the legendary Camp Blank, where they relive their epic adventures across Alaska, Japan, Europe, and Lake Tahoe. From navigating Alaska’s rugged terrain to experiencing Japan’s deep powder, tackling Europe’s good times, and reminiscing about Lake Tahoe’s crazy storm cycles, the film captures their exhilarating journeys and celebrates the spirit of skiing and camaraderie.
