    Scott Gaffney on the Most Mind-Blowing Skiers & Sessions He’s Filmed
    2026/08/29
    Scott Gaffney is one of the most accomplished ski-movie directors of all-time, and in this highlight from The Blister Vault, we’re sharing this clip where Jonathan Ellsworth got Scott to (try to) narrow down the most mind-blowing sessions he’s witnessed, and the skiers that made even the other pros watch in awe. And listening to this clip from 2017 today, it’s amazing how accurately Scott predicted who would be the next big thing in skiing. Note: We Want to Hear From You!
