Bent Family Chronicles: A Winter Odyssey in Baldface Valhalla

What turns a ski trip into a lifetime memory? Beyond the snow-covered peaks and thrilling descents, it's the people you share it with. Last winter, our Atomic Freeski Team—featuring a "humble, happy, crazy bunch," as Tonje Kvivik aptly put it—ventured to Baldface Valhalla in British Columbia for the beginning of an unforgettable film shoot.

From bonding over 'The Blondes' impeccable music taste, as highlighted by Chris Benchetler, to new experiences like Kai's inaugural taste of Canadian poutine, the highlight for the team was the simple joys of skiing together. Kai Jones echoed the sentiment, saying, 'I was super stoked to spend time with the Atomic team and share our love for skiing and the skis that let us push our limits.'"

It wasn't just the deep powder, towering cliffs, and blue skies of Baldface Valhalla—a "dream location," according to Chris Benchetler—that made the trip exceptional. It was also the team behind the scenes at Baldface Valhalla, everyone from the owners to the guides, that dialed the experience up to eleven.

To sum it up in one word? For both Kai and Tonje, the word is "Family."

And this is just the beginning. Join the Atomic Freeski Team as they chronicle this high-vibe journey across multiple episodes, taking them to the mountains of Canada, Utah, Switzerland, and California. From freeride to freestyle, it's a trip worth tuning into—capturing the sheer joy and exhilaration that comes when skiing transforms into a group masterpiece.
