Armada\u2019s two-year labour of love, Ornada fuses revolutionary skiing and artistic vision into a one-of-a-kind instant classic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In the epoch of instant gratification and endless instagram clips, waiting two years for a team movie drop seems almost archaic. The way we consume skiing has changed. Rare are the projects that make us put aside the pocket-sized artificial dopamine dispensers, dust off the \u201cbig screen\u201d long relegated to the fringes of the communal doom scrolling space once known as a living room, and hold our attention from longer than you can say, \u201cDid you see that reel I sent you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Even scarcer are films that can sell out packed theatres across continents and leave organizers scrambling for more dates. Armada\u2019s first full team project has done all of this and more.<\/p>\n

Ornada feels like a bridge between eras. It\u2019s a throwback to the films you used to watch on VHS until the tape wore through, with its rider\u2019s segments and inventive introductions. Ornada is a journey where the past and future of freeskiing intersect with trippy visuals and an original score. The artistic vision of MadSteeze meets revolutionary skiing of the Armada team so stacked with legends, the titles read more like a Hall of Fame list than a cast, bringing together stars of the Teddy Bear Crisis and those not old enough to remember it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a reminder of that annual excitement that had you rushing to buy cinema tickets, or waiting impatiently for the DVD to arrive at your parents\u2019 doorstep. A reminder that those films truly changed the scene, one segment at a time. Gone are those days, but with riders like Tanner Hall, Mike Hornbeck and Phil Casabon still pushing out breathtaking segments late into the sunsets of their careers, proves that mastery, creativity, and pure fun don\u2019t have an expiration date. Watching Ornada, it\u2019s impossible not to feel the thrill of those original ski films all over again.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
