She rose to fame on the global freeride stage with bold line choices and unwavering determination.

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.
