PARK CITY, Utah – Freeskiing phenom Colby Stevenson has long dazzled crowds with his gravity-defying feats, from collecting X Games medals to securing a podium spot at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. But his latest endeavor, Proof, offers a deeper look into the trials, triumphs, and sheer grit that define his career.

Released earlier this fall, Proof marks Stevenson’s first solo film project, directed by childhood friends Justin Mayers and Jack Francis. The duo, who also handled filming duties, crafted an exciting visual narrative that not only highlights Stevenson’s talent but also showcases their filmmaking strength.

The story of Proof begins long before the cameras rolled. In 2016, Stevenson survived a near-fatal car accident that threatened to end his ski career before it truly began. His recovery, nothing short of miraculous, has become a cornerstone of his journey, amplifying the significance of his accomplishments. With Proof, viewers get an intimate glimpse into the relentless drive that propelled him from the brink of tragedy to the pinnacle of his sport.

Whether carving lines in jaw-dropping terrain or reflecting on his meteoric rise, Stevenson’s journey, captured in Proof— is a must-watch for ski enthusiasts.
