Grete Eliassen Does Big Things in New Movie

 
Traveling from Scandinavia to Argentina, KICKER athlete Grete Eliassen has put all of her skills on the table for her upcoming feature-length film called “Say My Name” that drops this fall. This queen of the slopes is an X Games medalist that recently launched herself 31 feet into the air, breaking the height record for a female skier—intense is an understatement.
 
The high-def flick peeps into the life of an international ski superstar and captures Eliassen’s past two seasons, which have been her strongest yet! Absolutely nothing gets in this woman’s way; test her with backcountry lines, rough terrain, pipes, rails… you name it, she kills it!
 
“My main goal with this film is to inspire,” Grete said on the “Say My Name” Web site. “Women have been skiing hard forever, and I want girls everywhere to see the full circle that I live. They can go in the park and have fun; they can get snowmobiles and head out into the backcountry.”
 
In addition to her talents, “Say My Name” also features some of the world’s best female skiers, including Sarah Burke, Lynsey Dyer, Suzanne Graham, Elyse Saugstad and Keri Herman.  For more info on the project and a movie teaser, check out SayMyNameSki.com!
