FLOWERS - Josh Absenger Season Recap 2023

Flowers, a short film by Josh Absenger that shows his 2023 season. In skiing Josh finds his personal freedom. “For me skiing is always a form of art like painting or writing a book,“ he says. “Video projects like this give me space for self expression. That’s why I still love to go outdoors and shoot some film. You can do 100 percent your own thing. There are no rules or something that limits your creativity. And what I like on projects like this is that it all starts from zero. It’s a growing process. It’s like sowing seeds in the soil and waiting for them to grow. That’s why I called this project “Flowers.“ Some years they grow better and some not. That’s life.“ “This season we had an great trip to Kiroro on Hokkaido. I teamed up with Fabi Hyden, Luggi Brucic and Sebastian Höllwart . We got pretty lucky with the timing and had 10 days of great conditions. There’s also a few ski touring days from the winter in Europe and some sunny park laps at Absolutpark.“ Special Thanks to Fabi Hyden and Sebastian Höllwart and all the other filmers. It’s an privilege to have such creative minds on board. Thanks to my family. supported by Armada Skis Tyrolia Bindings Blue Tomato Kiroro Yu Kiroro Absolut Park Ski Amade Oakley Dalbello Evoc Bike and Sport Gmbh Oyuki Rider: Josh Absenger Filmed by Fabi Hyden Sebastian Höllwart Jakob Wallner Daniel Maurer Edited by Josh Absenger Artwork: Sebastian Höllwart Music: Pinkish Hue / Captain Qubz Artlist#skiing #freeskiing #downdays ___ We curate #Freeskiculture on a daily basis: Subscribe to Downdays on YouTube: Downdays on Facebook: Downdays on Instagram: Downdays on TikTok: @downdays_eu
