Pretty Faces - An all female ski film
Lynsey Dyer is a professional skier that looked at the numbers and knew that something didn't make sense.
Even though about 40% of skiers are women, only 14% of athletes in last season's major ski films were female. And the season before that, the number was only 9%.
Lynsey "wanted to give young girls something positive to look up to…their Blizzard of Ahhs, Ski Movie or High Life, but done in a way that also shows the elegance, grace, community and style that is unique to women in the mountains."
And instead of working to get a few more women in other company's films, Lynsey decided to make her own film, showcasing only female skiers. The popularity of this concept is huge as the film's premiere in Boulder, CO on Tuesday September 30th, is already sold out. But there are many more tour dates this fall:
