In the second episode of the Portraits short film series, Unfiltered, we reflect on Elisabeth Gerritzen’s remarkable competitive skiing career. After a 7 year campaign on the Freeride World Tour, Elisabeth — fondly known as “Eli”— won the crown in 2021. At what seemed like the peak of her career, it spurred on a soul search for what competing truly meant for her.

With her riding peers in tow, Unfiltered captures Elisabeth at a turning point of her career, as she charts a path beyond competition. Armed with her freeskiing mastery and a frank worldview that’s as sharp as her ski edges, Eli’s skiing journey is far from finished.
