- With no ropes, no pistes and no one telling you where you can and can’t go, La Grave represents a very special type of freedom rarely found in other alpine ski areas.
Narrated by a community of locals who have been freeriding in La Grave for the past two decades, and who still reside there today, this short ski film follows Sam Anthamatten and Johnny Collinson as they discover the steep faces, burly lines and unique collective spirit at the heart of La Grave.

Rip my old friend and guide Damien Albert...your eternal laugh still echoes in my head
I boarded La Grave in 91.. The second year they opened it for the ski season.. A room, packed lunch and guide was $37.. The guide was mandatory.. I could have possible been the first to snowboard La Grave.. Snowboarding was just starting to catch on in Europe in 91.. I had been boarding since 84 in Alberta, Canada..
Holla, I lived and worked in Les 2 Alpes 82 to 92, and did La Grave, in snowboard in the middle 1980's several times, form the top ....
@@accentsdailleurselsewheres5394 ouais je crois qu'il raconte n'importe quoi. J'ai descendu la Meije à 10 ans en 1982, avec mes parents et sans guide. On avait vachement la trouille (on est pas du tout du coin - du Nord Est !). Mais quelle expérience.
No one is bringing us the same sick content and skiing as faction right now, super cool company
Very true !! Do you like/use the gear as well?

I skied La Grave many years during the 90's and early 2000 when I did most of the classics, Pans de Rideaux, Chirouze , not to mention tree skiing on snowy days under the cable car. It leaves you with memories for your whole life. Unfortunately, it has become too crowded. I have now gone in search for the tiny forgotten ski resorts that dot the French, Swiss and Italian Alps, the ones that are out of the way, the places that you can only reach with touring equipment and several hours of hiking. You can get powder days when only you are making tracks and the magic of feeling isolated from the rest of humanity is still alive.
Same boat, Chamonix and la grave are so crowded I'll never go again. Skied these in the 80's 90's last time in 2010. So crowded with posers you couldn't get on the valley buses. So I go elsewhere.
LG wasn't that busy on middle of weeks on seasons 2014...2018 when I was around. On weekend bluebird mornings it was just better to chill out. I just went to that small pub opposite side of the road and had a coffee or a beer while and a snack while waiting the que to vanish.. which was about 10AM usually. Then I took a condola of my own without all the stressed people, started righ taway with Triffide 1 or 2 which were quite often not tracked at all. Skied the skiers right of Vallon to the Village. Took lift up... After P2 it was easy to observe if some group had allready followed my tracks to T1 and T2 and if the track to P2 had been opened... From P2 all the nice forrest runs are available after skiing the Triffides...

Watching some of the guys ski completely blows my mind sometimes, incredible ability 👍
un site exceptionnel : et je suis fière de dire que j'ai participé à la première montée, de l'inauguration du 2e tronçon en 1979…
ouais je me la péte … mes meilleurs souvenirs de glisse en Ski , en monoski, et en snowboard !!!!
WOW. Thank you. Perfectly captures why LG is so so special. Could feel my hart pounding at 13:00!!
Pleased to say I have skied and ice-climbed there... Love the way the French say it's YOUR responsibility to keep safe...
When you are locked down at home since 7 days it is great to have a good breath in such beautifull mountains 🏔❤️🤩🤙
Long live freedom: it’s your responsibility to stay safe and it’s their responsibility to rescue you caught in avalanches or other accidents. Why am I not surprised by the definition of freedom here described.
It is indeed one of the best freeride spots of the world in a fantastic atmosphere due to the wild environment and that local relaxed freeride community. I have been here a couple of times and skied already with the American guide Joe Vallone when he just arrived here in La Grave, a great guy!
Huge quality of footage
Ce film et magnifique et met super bien en avant la liberté que peut offrir la grave ! j'adore !!
This video is mazing, there is no better way to reveal this place, a video made by you. Definitely now go to La Grave is in my bucket list.
these videos shouldn't be free, but im so glad they are
Great film. I love Russ. He is a wise man. Long live the eco-system of free ski that is La Grave.
quite pleasing to watch a ski movie for once and actually recognise the terrain, even if I didn't quite ski the same lines....
Great production and amazing quality! Love the shots and the skiing 👌🏻 Thanks for sharing this dope content!
Love their technique. Such solid and smooth flow
Super production! La Grave is the best! A skiiers dream. The ride down to St. Christophe stands out as one of my favorite runs ever!
Excellent film. I have skied there a number of times on the easier routes. I have no rope skills so good to see some of what else is out there on the mountain. I have never seen those queues at the lift though. It must have been the first blue bird day after the snow has fallen and a weekend.
been skiing the classic since i was late teens and now doing those lines its an amazing place and the mountain is always in charge. Even the line they do in this is amazing
Best content in skiing as usual but whoever was doing the drone work absolutely killed it!! Some amazing shots. Props!
Powder porn...comes to mind.
To ski is to live, what a great movie, thanks !
Juste Magnifique, que du bonheur !!!
That was unreal! Awesome work. Would love to see more of this next winter!
What a work of art.. beautifully shot, bravo faction
This was so well done. Bravo to all involved.
Thank you for blowing up my bucket list.....this one is on the top now!
Loved the story and soundtrack
Ski season is starting Thats the perfect movie to begin
One word. Incredible.
Love it.That's getting a grip!
Faction is quickly becoming the new Freeski TV! Another epic episode guys :D
I have been a few times in La Grave and it is still an unique freeride /alpine area which is even nicer if you ski with Guides like Joe Vallone.
UN GRAN REPORTAJE DE THE FACTION COLLECTIVE SOBRE LA GRAVE . MARAVILLOSO GRACIAS.
Thank you.
J’ai vu ce film à la We ❤️ Pow Pow à Chambéry et je vous encourage vraiment à aller l’année prochaine parce que des films de cette qualité au cinéma c’est tout simplement le rêve d’un passionné !
Questa non è passione e rispetto per la montagna, ma puro esibizionismo !!!
Beautifully done. Thanks for producing this. One day we hope to ski some of this mountain as a family.
Beautiful video. Thanks.
brilliant professional skiing with the same for the amazing camera work
I love this!
Great as usually!👍👍💪💪👊
super sick tree footie!
I was there in the early 2000's when a local band member fell to their death in a crevasse, really sad time and you really felt it in the community.
pur bonheur ! thanks !
Great video, I love La Grave and can't wait to come back in March. Truly is a special place, My previous visit I got to experience the love and community of this wonderful place. A bientôt La Grave. Dan, Mammoth Lakes Ca
Merci à vous d'aimer notre région
Je suis d'une autre époque :)
Amazing footage and picture quality! great music and editing! Nice ! Congrats!
aweseome production!
That looks like my kind of place, No one to tell you no. Pay your dues, learn your lines, be smart, have fun. Really nice video, great photography.
One path leads to paradise. One path leads to pain. One path leads to freedom. "May God keep us safe. Amen."
Finally I waited for the video! You guys are the best when I want to grow up to you at the base of the cot and make skis. It is a pity that they know little about you in Russia. We are dark here)) And the winter we govshische !!! But I ride (on your skis) sometimes it turns out.
Inspiring stuff
Since I heard of the place 20 years ago, I finally got to La Grave last year so to all who have never been........... add it to your bucket lists now !
Stunning
J'ai vraiment aimé la qualité de cette vidéo, autant au niveau du visuel que de la façon dont est présenté cette monatgne ! :)
D'autant plus que ça faisait une semaine que je l'attendais avec impatience (au vue de la vignette 1ère diffusion), je ne suis pas déçu ! Et les musiques sont top !
i can only dream of doing this; incredible work and footage and skills
This place is incredible such a huge scale.....
Awsome and inspiring
So sick Johnny!!!

Ce site est tout simplement magique. Il suffit d’aller y skier une fois pour être Addict.

"Is it powder?"
"It used to be"
best line in the whole movie
I really appreciate the long camera views, made so right by higher rez capture. Great work.
Best edit I’ve ever seen
4:28 the boys are all wearing glasses to cover up those madddd goggle tans
The best freerider family.🤗
Très beau boulot!
Wow, they found real snow to ski on. Well done.
Very cool video
Super vidéo ! Enfin une belle vidéo "pro" qui montre l'esprit et les possibilités de La Grave ! Ca fait 20 ans que j'y vais, et à chaque fois je me dit que j'ai de la chance d'avoir connu ça ! En 2018, c'est super rare, maintenant ils dament partout avec leurs immenses ratrack, faisant des grands boulevards où l'on peut aller tout droit, c'est n'importe quoi, quel est l'intérêt ? Encaisser un maximum de forfaits en fait...La Grave est un dernier espace de Liberté, profitez-en !...mais entrainez vous d'abord, il faut tout de même une bonne condition physique et un bon niveau de ski pour s'attaquer à La Grave !
class documentary thanks
If this is anything as good as the BC edit Im all there for it
And hell yeah it is
Tolle Dokumentation , chapeau !!!!
5:16 "We live in a world where we are always told what to do" That is so true

Brilliant that they got the lift lease renewed. Hope they'll still pull riders up behind the piste basher though :-) What a place.
