Monster Energy’s Henrik Harlaut Gives a ‘SALUTE’ to Freeski Progression in New Film

In the close-knit world of freeski, Harlaut has made his mark as a unique individual and athlete. Known for his hip-hop infused antics and 5XL overalls, the 29-year-old from Stockholm, Sweden, has constantly pushed the boundaries of freeski with never-done-before tricks and unique style. It’s safe to say that Harlaut has changed the freeski scene and brought it to another level. It is this passion that makes ‘SALUTE’ a tribute to the entire freeskiing movement.

Captured in stunning high-definition video, the passion project takes viewers to exclusive locations across the globe, including Jackson Hole (USA), Chamonix (FRA), Mt Baker (USA), Grandvalira (Andorra), Minnesota, and Riksgransen (SWE). Joining Harlaut in a fast-paced mix of park, urban and backcountry freeskiing is an elite list of riders such as Oystein Braaten, Karl Fosvedt, Jacob Wester, Chris Logan, Sammy Carlson, Clayton Vila, Noah Albaladejo, Cam Riley, Oscar Wester, Tom Ritsch, Isaac Simhon, Valentin Morel, and Morten Grappe.

Henrik Harlaut is currently the most decorated ski athlete in X Games history with twelve medals to his name (7 gold, 5 silver). Known for constantly raising the bar with innovative tricks such as the ‘Griselda Flip’, Harlaut is respected as the kind of rare athlete who changes their sport forever – a legend. Lewis Hamilton is doing it for F1, John Florence for surfing, and Henrik Harlaut for freeskiing. With ‘SALUTE’, Harlaut showcases all unique aspects of the sport and pays tribute to the stylish skiers that paved the way as well as the new generation of talent.
