Salomon Freeski TV

Once an abandoned mine dump in the southernmost part of the Rocky Mountains, Taos Ski Valley is home to some of the most abundant and aggressive inbounds ski terrain in North America.

After 8 seasons of Salomon Freeski TV, and thousands of comments from our fans begging for a chance to star in an episode, we’ve listened! For 3 weeks in December, Salomon Freeski TV viewers were given the chance to win their ultimate #freeskidreamtrip. The contest was simple – tell us where would you go and who would you would want to go with? On December 29th, 2014 10 winners were selected from a list of thousands, then one lucky fan received a phone call giving him the opportunity to live out his ultimate skiing fantasy in Japan with Mike Douglas, Cody Townsend, & Kaj Zackrisson.

It was a ridiculous idea from the start. Travel to the edge of the earth to see one of the planet’s rarest events- a total solar eclipse in the Arctic. Faced with the likely reality of bad weather obscuring the sun and having to battle frigid, arctic temperatures and winds, the odds did not favor success. Despite this the Salomon Freeski TV team and set out on an expedition to realize photographer, Reuben Krabbe’s grand vision to capture a single unique image- one of skiing during a solar eclipse. Persistence, preparation and a positive attitude was a guarantee of nothing as March 20th, 2015, dawned. The fate of the expedition’s goal would rest entirely in the hands of the weather gods.

During filming of Salomon Freeski TV Season 7, we asked Salomon Freeski team members if they could drop everything and chase a storm to Japan on only 24 hours notice. This season that same question led us to Chamonix, France and some of the most ideal conditions the crew has ever seen.

For Mike Douglas and Alexis Godbout, a ski touring trip through Switzerland's Urner Alps was about much more than simply exploring a beautiful mountain range on skis. It was a chance to push themselves and expand their definition of what it means to be a freeskier.
