That is a big turnout for a ski premiere.
It’s a funny and enjoyable short filmed in what were quite clearly challenging conditions for jibbing.
By nine o’clock,This Is Homegot started and a sort of awed silence fell over the place.
Each segment was greeted and sent off with massive cheers, as were bangers throughout.
But probably the loudest of the night went up when the words ‘La Balme’ appeared onscreen.
The first is the insane Zermatt segment, centered around Sam Anthamatten who plays host to Johnny Collinson.
… they also got frankly terrifying.

And the second is the street segment from Antti’s home in Finland.
But for me, the mind-blower was what is essentially Alex Hall’s street skiing debut.
This spot is bonkers, pretty much completely blind the whole way.
Antti shut it down.
If you might get yourself down to one of these premieres, do.
Plus you don’t really want to wait until December to see the thing, do you?
