“As We Are” is a tribute to female skiing in a male-dominated sports world where female athletes are conspicuously absent from most ski films. Austrian freeskier Sandra Lahnsteiner decided to take matters into her own hands and shot an all-female ski film in the winter of 2009/10 together with Mathias Bergmann, sweetshots productions.

Sandra invited some of the best female freeriders in the Alps to participate in this unique project: Laura Bohleber (SUI), Lorraine Huber (AUT), Giulia Monego (ITA), Melissa Presslaber (AUT) and Pia Widmesser (GER). The girls visited their home towns on a road trip through the Alps: Gastein (AUT), Lech (AUT), Osttirol (AUT), Hochfügen (AUT) and Verbier (SUI). “As We Are” is more than just great ski action in the backcountry. It tells the story of six freeride girls who started their journey as strangers and eventually became friends. A journey that takes them to the best snow and backcountry areas in the Alps.
