ECHO – New Short Film from Sammy Carlson and It’s a Banger

Mountainwatch | Video

This is banger of a short film from Sammy Carlson, skiing at its best from the skier who, more than anyone, puts the free into freeskiing. An excellent way to spend four minutes and like all of Sammy’s vids, ECHO is one you don’t want to miss.

From the producers:

We’re back again! To keep the winter stoke alive, we’re excited to present our latest short film, ‘ECHO’. Filmed during the winter of 2024, just before our expedition to Alaska, ‘ECHO’ showcases the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia and captures the essence of backcountry skiing.

Despite facing a season with limited snowfall and challenging conditions, we embraced the opportunity to venture out and stack some memorable clips.

While the lack of precipitation and a stable snowpack hindered our plans for certain pillow lines, it didn’t deter our passion for getting out into the mountains—a warm-up for Alaska, if you will.

‘ECHO’ is a tribute to all the dedicated riders out there. “I hope this film gets you fired up for the days ahead and reminds you why we do what we do.” – Sammy
