Alaska Spines After The Late Start
The Alaska face rose in broken white ribs, each spine catching wind and light above a landing no park builder could smooth. Alex Lundstrom followed Dillon Flinders into that terrain with the camera close, the drone high, and a season that had nearly stalled suddenly turning into the reason RIFF existed.
RIFF became Lundstrom’s clearest public film statement. The 2025 Dynastar project followed Lundstrom and Flinders from Utah to Alaska in their first year producing their own movie, after a strange snow season, a late start and enough uncertainty to make the Alaska window feel accidental rather than planned. The result put Lundstrom’s skiing into a freeride story built on improvisation, exposed lines and Snowbird roots.
Snowbird Before The Film Credits
The Freeride World Tour profile lists Lundstrom as a United States ski men athlete, 25 years old, with Snowbird attached to his rider page. That detail is more than a location tag. Snowbird gives a skier steep terrain, traverses, cliffs, storm days, rocky entrances, soft landings when the cycle lines up, and bad landings when it does not.
FREESKIER described Lundstrom and Flinders as making a name for themselves at Snowbird Resort by turning challenging terrain into casual jib lines. That sentence captures the core of Lundstrom’s public style. He is not presented as a pure contest technician or a park-only athlete. His skiing sits in the Wasatch language: terrain reading first, tricks second, and a willingness to make steep snow feel playful.
Grand Targhee In Ninth Grade
Lundstrom’s competitive roots reach back to junior big-mountain skiing. In April 2015, Park Record reported that he won a North American Big Mountain Freeskiing Championship title at Grand Targhee while he was a ninth grader from Park City Winter Sports School. KPCW described him as a local Parkite and North American Big Mountain Freeskiing Champion for his age group.
The Park Record recap gives the run texture. Lundstrom was third after qualifiers and needed to close a gap to an Alaskan skier in first. In finals, he threw a large air near the top of the venue with a grab that helped secure the win. That early result matters because it shows freeride confidence long before the Dynastar films.
Kicking Horse And The Junior Freeride Trail
His junior archive also includes a 2017 Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Jeep Freeski Junior Series national event. Freeride World Tour lists Lundstrom fourth in Ski Men behind Max Meza, Ben Woodward and Westan Lubin, with Joshua Hebert, Sam Friesen and Cameron Petersen also inside the top seven.
That result places him in a North American junior freeride field where terrain, line choice and composure mattered more than a single trick. Kicking Horse is a useful reference because the mountain does not reward passive skiing. The venues can demand steep entries, exposed turns, quick speed checks and enough confidence to make the line look intentional rather than defensive.
Snowbird IFSA And The Adult Qualifier Step
The adult qualifier record gives a current competition anchor. Freeride World Tour lists Lundstrom with 860 points in FWT Qualifier Americas, including a first place at the 2024 Snowbird IFSA Qualifier worth 600 points and a 23rd place at another Snowbird qualifier worth 260 points.
The event page for the 2024 Snowbird IFSA Qualifier lists Lundstrom first in Ski Men, ahead of Zephyr Carruth, Tams Marvell, Eli Blakney, Kieren Ferguson and Jeremy Mathers. Winning at Snowbird matters differently for a Snowbird-based skier. Familiar terrain raises expectations. The mountain still decides whether local knowledge becomes fluid skiing or overconfidence.
Lemonade With The Dynastar North America Crew
Lemonade, the 2023 Dynastar team film with Level 1 Productions, marked Lundstrom’s move into a stronger ski-film orbit. iF3 described the project as an action ski short filmed across North America, featuring Sander Hadley, Alex Lundstrom, Megan Dingman and Dillon Flinders. Trailer coverage also listed Anthony Carmola in the crew.
The project was not framed as a one-athlete vehicle. That is part of the point. Lundstrom entered a team environment where each skier brought a different flavor to the movie: Hadley’s established freeride style, Flinders’ Utah energy, Dingman’s power, Carmola’s presence and Lundstrom’s emerging big-mountain approach. It gave him visibility through a brand film without forcing the page to invent a solo breakout.
Transmission Beside Hadley, Permin And Barkered
Transmission raised the scale again. The Dynastar film, produced by PVS Company and Level 1 Productions, starred Mégane Betend, Dillon Flinders, Edgar Cheylus, Reine Barkered, Sander Hadley, Alex Lundstrom and Richard Permin. The Vimeo listing describes it as a freeride film moving from steep faces to backcountry powder while bringing generations of skiers together.
MKSport described the film around athlete pairings, including Sander Hadley with Alex Lundstrom, Dillon Flinders with Mégane Betend, and Reine Barkered with Edgar Cheylus. That pairing gives Lundstrom’s role an important context. Hadley had already built a strong identity in creative freeride; filming beside him placed Lundstrom inside a lineage of skiers who blend instinct, speed and playful terrain use.
How Lundstrom Turns Freeride Into Jib Lines
Lundstrom’s skiing is best watched through terrain use. His strongest clips are not only about dropping into steep snow. They are about turning wind lips, cliffs, rollers, sidewalls and powder pillows into features. The technical details are line choice, sluff awareness, takeoff timing, landing direction, speed control and the ability to keep skiing after impact.
That is where the Snowbird description matters. “Casual jib lines” in challenging terrain means the skier sees a natural mountain like a park, without forgetting that the consequences are larger. A rail skier locks onto metal. Lundstrom locks onto transitions: a spine shoulder, a rock gap, a wind scoop, a landing pocket or a tree-line exit that gives the shot its rhythm.
RIFF With Flinders And Brian Boyd
RIFF was the first film produced by Lundstrom and Dillon Flinders together, according to iF3 and FREESKIER. iF3 lists both skiers as directors, with AnD Motion as production. Downdays notes that the film was shot across Utah and Alaska, supported by Dynastar, LOOK Bindings, Lange and Snowbird, and edited by Brian Boyd.
The film’s structure followed a season that did not start cleanly. A strange snowpack and late momentum kept the project unstable until Alaska created the main opportunity. That uncertainty gives the movie its shape. Instead of a fixed resort-part formula, RIFF reads as a winter improvised around weather, terrain and the chance to make big lines work when the door finally opened.
Dynastar, LOOK, Lange And The M-Free Thread
Lundstrom’s most visible equipment connection is with Dynastar, with RIFF supported by Dynastar, LOOK Bindings and Lange. FREESKIER also photographed him at Snowbird during Dynastar’s M-Free and M-Pro development coverage, connecting his skiing to the brand’s freeride product direction.
That fit is easy to read. Lundstrom’s clips demand skis that can handle chop, powder, cliffs, side hits and high-speed runouts. A freeride setup in his lane needs flotation without feeling dead underfoot, enough backbone for hard landings, and enough play to slash, drift and turn natural terrain into features rather than straight-line everything.
Where His Archive Should Sit
The strongest skipowd.tv tags for Alex Lundstrom are Snowbird, Park City, Grand Targhee, IFSA, FWT Qualifier, Lemonade, Transmission, RIFF, Dynastar, LOOK, Lange, Dillon Flinders, Sander Hadley, Utah, Alaska, freeride and backcountry jib. His page belongs in the film and freeride archive before the formal contest archive.
The current endpoint is clear: a 2024 Snowbird IFSA Qualifier win, the Dynastar film sequence from Lemonade to Transmission, and RIFF in 2025 as a self-produced Lundstrom-Flinders project filmed between Utah and Alaska. Future updates should track new Dynastar films, FWT Qualifier results, Snowbird clips and any next project that keeps building his freeride-with-jib-lines identity.
