Sometimes, new readers will ask us what our name, FREESKIER, means. And, despite the fact that we’ve been running independently for nearly 20 years, that’s a tough question to answer. Freeskiing is so many things—the culmination of decades of pushing the limits on skis—meaning there can never be a real definition.

But, this video from Red Bull does fantastic job at showing how we got to where we are today. It showcases freeskiing’s various different stages—ski ballet, big-mountain pioneering, the tall T-filled park craze… everything—and will surely resonate with anyone that’s ever put a pair of planks on their feet.

Red Bull created a 30-minute, extended version of this video, as well. Click here to check it out.
