Brady Perron grew up a couple of miles from Mt.
In your early career, with Stept and 4BI9, you were known for your style.
I know youve given interviews about style, but do you think style or progression is more important?
Or do the two things go together?
I think having a style can more easily separate someone from others.
It is good to be different and feel different.
I think the standing out is how we choose our favorite song, flick, athlete, artist.
Your favorite style should make you feel something.
It could just be one’s control or speed or both.
Did you always have an interest/talent for making videos?
Not talent but I grew up making videos with friends and taking photos.
I think my brother and I got inspired by our mom first.
Big shouts to Kevin, and our folks for being so supportive of us both.
I eventually phased out of being in front of the camera to get my release behind the lens.
Feels great doing both.
I’m mostly focusing on trying to develop a style in my shooting and editing these days though.
Was it a conscious choice to focus more on being a filmer?
Would you now say youre a filmer or skier?
I am a skier and video lover first, both hand-in-hand.
It was a conscious choice to become a shooter only after Henrik had put me on forBe Inspired.
It felt great like… My body got beat up from skiing, too.
We all have lives and interests beyond the snow- that’s a good thing!
Hit me if you want to connect on a project!

When did you first meet Phil Casabon?
We met in Vermont when I was 15 and he was 14 atVTOpen.
Special days caught byStept.Salute to Phil!
Phil and I clicked easily.
Making videos takes time, massaging and work.
Phil and I got a real feel for one another during the Be Inspired years and tour.
I think my next project will be better due to his open-mindedness.
Have you had any nightmares where you just couldnt get the shot?
Either from conditions, equipment or just bad luck?
Do you have any ambitions or particular things you would hope to achieve?
Both in skiing and outside?
Have you ever thought about making videos with no skiing?
I’d like to keep working with the greats like Phil and HH.
Hoping to do a project with Jossi, Will Wesson and do another one with Duncan Adams.
Also, I am hoping to work with Jake Mageau and Taylor B Lundquist.
Also, I want to continue contributing creatively towards Armada Skis' content.
We have a great team and vision, and they let me represent them with full freedom.
In regards to outside of skiing- I have a lot to do.
Right now, I’m about to start working on cutting a doc piece.
I hope my footage will provide for this little story.
Hoping it will end up feeling okay!

Do you see any new trends in skiing videos/contests thatll come this decade?
I got to help out with content and interviews for Wallisch’s rail jam at Seven Springs.
It was special to see and be a part of.
I think this event will spark more of the traditional rail jams to pop up again.
They create community, accessibility and shine for those outside of a points system.
Tough for judging though!
