A Documentary by Bill Kerig

Kiss the Sky — Definition

Idiom / Figurative Expression

• to soar above the constraints of everyday, to break free from limitations—physical, emotional, societal—to embrace infinite possibility. 

• a moment of profound clarity where a deeper understanding emerges. 

• a personal mantra to achieve greatness, defy expectations, and leave a lasting impact on the world.

A cinematic, character-driven feature-length documentary that traces the revolutionary rise of freestyle skiing. Told by insiders with soul, joy, and a kinetic energy similar to Riding Giants, this film begins at skiing’s roots—survival in the snow-covered wilderness—and follows its ceaseless quest to change, to confound the gravity of the human condition with joy, daring, and risk.

It’s a story of a freedom-seeking cultural movement that has to change to survive, that taunts the status quo in all its forms. This is a story of outsiders who eschew the ordinary to re-write the rules for all of us.

Through a dynamic mix of archival footage, stylized reenactments, period-appropriate music, and present-day interviews, Kiss The Sky is a tale of joy triumphing over cynicism, of mirth conquering might—a story of rebels and pioneers, and the cultural revolution that changed the world. 

From icons such as Wayne Wong, John Clendenin, Susie Chaffee, Genia Fuller-Crews, Nick & Susie Preston, Glen Plake, Donna Weinbrecht, Scott Kauf, Cameron Boyle, Jeremy Bloom, Hannah Kearney, Johnny Moseley, Trace Worthington, Jared Speedy Peterson, Shannon Bahrke, Tanner Hall, Mike Douglas, Alex Ferreira, Nick Goepper, Jaelin Kauf (and many others) this is the story of a group of outsiders whose journey will change the way you see the world.
