Skip it unless you're a die-hard ski enthusiast looking for inspiration—while the focus on everyday riders is refreshing, an hour-long doc about non-professional winter sports feels more like niche YouTube content than appointment viewing. You'll get better thrills and storytelling from an actual ski film with higher production values.

Plot

Altitude Adjustment is an hour long documentary about skiing and snowboarding. Unlike other ski films this documentary takes a look at non-professional skiers and snowboarders and what drives them to the mountains each winter. We explore the thoughts and motivations of dedicated winter sports enthusiasts, while showcasing accessible locations that advanced and expert skiers may want to explore on future ski trips.
