    We don’t do what we do to inspire others, it’s just something we have to do to reach our own goals in life.

  • Mad Professors of Skiing – Real Skifi

    Documentary

    Release date: Winter 2024

    Mad Professors of Skiing is a full length documentary film about Real Skifi. We made this film first and foremost for ourselves and loved ones. In the age of fast clips and algorithms we wanted to create a meaningful memory that could last for decades. The goal was not to convince the world how cool of a phenomenon Real Skifi is. Instead we tried to capture genuine feelings and memories focusing on what this journey has felt like and meant for us. We started working on Mad Professors of Skiing in the spring of 2020 and we premiered it locally in December 2022. And now, in February 2024, it’s time to release it for you. As long-time Valio Academy ambassadors our goal is to inspire kids and youth to find their own passions and be physically active. And that’s really the message of the film. After all, we’re still just a bunch of kids ourselves, united and driven by our passion. Biggest thanks to everyone who has accompanied, supported or watched us throughout the years. We couldn’t have done this without you. We’re beyond thankful for all we’ve had. Ps. In case you were wondering, this film is not our retirement announcement.
