Legendary film maker Kris Ostness (Wind-Up Films/Flying Circus) has teamed up with new school film maker Henrik Rostrup (Push Films/Not Another Ski Movie) to form the company Teddybear Crisis. The crew revisits the classic Utah gaps that Ostness/Wind-Up Films pioneered years ago and discovers a few new ones on the way. Upper/Lower Flagstaff and Pyramid, all mandatory 90 foot spans, pale to Tanner Hall hitting 120 foot Chad’d5s Gap skiing backwards at 53mph and stomping a switch 900. The crew travels from unique backcountry features, super-sized park, kickers over half pipes, freeskiing in the Alps, Alaska and face shots in Utah. The intro was shot on 35mm film with a full rock video production crew in Oslo Norway, a just start for a ski film that is crawling out of the box with a new style and a fresh look at insane action. Filmed in Europe, Scandinavia, Utah, California, Alaska on 16mm and 35mm film.

A bunch of crazy guys in Norway have no limits when it comes to andrenalin on snow. Packed with tons of action and incredible stunts this movie from the guys at skifilm.no has become the most eagerly awaited freeski film in Scandinavia this year. Also includes excellent snowboarders who ride the air with the freeskiers.
Filmed over a six month period during the winter of 2005-2006, Show and Prove chronicles the lives of professional skiers Tanner Hall and CR Johnson as they each struggle to overcome the greatest challenges of their lives. Follow Tanner across North America and Europe as he pushes himself and the boundaries of the sport to a new level. Witness CR recover from a life-threatening head injury and make a comeback that is nothing short of miraculous. Ski bottomless powder, spin off huge cliffs, go behind the scenes at the X Games, hit monster kickers and slide the most technical rails ever, including the first rail-to-rail transfer. Show & Prove is the true story of friendship and the progression of the sport through heart, commitment and the most cutting-edge skiing to date.
