It’s no secret that LINE produces some of the best content in freeskiing, no matter what metric you use, be it quality or quantity. They’ve also made a concerted effort over the last few years to branch out into areas far beyond the freestyle and park scenes for which they’re known. Mix this desire to create excellent videography with their growing roster of freeride-focused skiers and you end up with “What’s Your Number?”.
This new film is a wild barrage of unique styles, all of which share an underlying similarity. As different as they are, this group consisting of Dylan Siggers, Garrett Capel, Ben Richards, Rachael Anderson, Ana Eyssimont, Jake Hopfinger, Jonnie Merrill, Kate Targett, Liam Morgan, Wing Tai Barrymore and Val Festavan certainly blends well together. Either that, or they’re good at pretending that’s the case.
Not trying to limit their options, the team headed to Northern British Columbia for several weeks last winter. A mission of this scale is not to be understated. It’s a massive commitment by both sponsors and athletes. It’s clear that these remote mountains were worth the trek, as the film features incredible natural lines, finely crafted kickers and even a few shots of over-the-head blower.
The creative riding is well complemented by the film’s composition, as skier Dylan Siggers took charge of editing the footage stacked by Nick Nault and Lucas Reid, giving a cohesive feel to the entire project. The result is an adrenaline-pumping, nostalgia-inducing movie that encapsulates the distinctive style LINE has become known for.
Words will only take you so far, however. Watch the full cut of “What’s Your Number?” and be sure to check out the immersive photo gallery with images from the talented Steve Reed below. And if you enjoy this film, keep an eye open for Dylan Siggers and Liam Morgan’s new movie “SPLIFF” dropping this fall as well.

We are proud to announce “What’s your Number?” A LINE Skis art project by our Freeride Team.
In February of 2024, our freeride team set out on a 3-week emotional bonding experience to the northern reaches of the Rocky Mountain Trench in Valemount, British Columbia.
Making a sled skiing video is a lot of things happening at once. It’s fun, it’s scary, beautiful, and humiliating. Every day comes with its own sets of pressures and fears, be they personal or environmental. But at the end of the day when you get to watch the 20 seconds of footage you captured. It makes you feel like maybe you’re actually doing something right out there, and sometimes that’s the best feeling in the world.
From long days of Sled Skiing, Big Mountain Charging, Pow Slashing, Backcountry Booter Sending, and down days filled with poker, curling, and good friends, “What’s Your Number?” showcases an art project by the LINE Skis Freeride Team. We hope you enjoy it.
