Out of the Ordinary is the third film in HEAD | TYROLIA Freeskiing’s series, but don’t expect a straightforward continuation of Beyond or Unified. This isn’t a sequel—it’s an epic detour. Equal parts tribute and chaos, the film dives headfirst into the eccentric, beautifully unpredictable world of skiing and the athletes who live it every day.
The story is stitched together from the quirks and mishaps of lodge life, impulsive strike missions that hinge on an always-unreliable weather window, DIY jump zones stitched together in the backcountry—and endless ski-touring missions that test endurance as much as stoke.
The journey arcs across the globe: from the steep spines of Alaska to the deep powder of Japan, from the fjords of Norway to the familiar backcountry playgrounds of BC, with detours in Austria, Switzerland and beyond. Wherever the crew goes, they bring with them a mix of obsession, camaraderie and the gonzo humour that makes the story so compelling.

What sets Out of the Ordinary apart is its embrace of the strange and the imperfect. One moment you’re watching riders navigate winding pavement high above the fjords, the next you’re laughing at a plywood outhouse perched with million-dollar views. It’s a film that finds meaning not just in flawless lines or podium-worthy performance, but in the deeply human side of chasing snow.
Featuring Freeride World Tour champions, Olympic medalists, backcountry mavens and distinct personalities, Out of the Ordinary celebrates the unpolished magic that keeps skiers coming back year after year. More than just a collection of rad segments, it’s a reminder of why we fall in love with snow in the first place—and why we never really grow out of it.
