A Milestone for Women in Skiing
Nexus is more than just a ski film; it’s a milestone for women in the skiing world. For far too long, the industry has been marked by the sentiment that “one is enough” when it comes to featuring women in skiing segments. However, Nexus challenges this notion head-on. As Michelle Parker, one of the industry’s most prominent freeskiers and a Nexus athlete, aptly puts it, “If we want to see change in this industry, we need to be the ones out there moving it forward. Nexus is a milestone this industry was long overdue for.”
“If we want to see change in this industry, we need to be the ones out there moving it forward” – Michelle Parker
In Nexus, we witness not just extraordinary skiing but also the camaraderie and bonds that form in the mountains. Early morning ski tours and the weightless turns in untouched snow create friendships that are unbreakable. It’s through skiing that these athletes push the boundaries of what’s possible, descending steep couloirs and conquering challenging cliffs. And when life presents its challenges, the mountains become a refuge, a place to find solace and strength.
The Nexus Ski Film and exclusive live panel discussion promise to be an unforgettable evening that celebrates the resilience, strength, and passion of women in the world of skiing. As the film takes you on a journey through awe-inspiring mountain landscapes and intimate stories of these exceptional athletes, it’s a reminder that in the world of action sports, one is never enough. Nexus is a testament to the power of unity, the indomitable spirit of women, and the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to chase their dreams.
