You know you've made something special when two Footage of the Year winners had the bulk of their clips in the same video. For Forest and Savannah, that video was Atlas 2. And as we said during the nomination process, this category remains one of the key landmarks for celebrating exceptional creativity, commitment, and vision in front of the lens of snowboarding. Savannah and Forest display all three of those characteristics in spades. 

SAVANNAH SHINSKE & FOREST BAILEY

SAVANNAH SHINSKE: There isn’t a single conversation on the chairlift or shop floor about Footage of the Year where Savannah’s name doesn’t come up. Her clips in Atlas 2 were composed, confident, and pointed straight at big features with zero hesitation. Every shot felt intentional, and more than a few of them became immediate standouts the moment the film dropped. Savannah rode with the kind of presence that makes people rewind to watch again, and this season made it clear she belongs at the center of the conversation.

FOREST BAILEY: Forest Bailey landed on this list the easy way, by stacking an undeniable amount of heavy footage. Between standout clips in 686’s Atlas 2 and the depth of his own project Good Apple, he reminded everyone why his name has carried weight for so long. Forest has always been known for otherworldly board control, especially on spots that look completely unreasonable, and this year the filming matched that reputation stride for stride. The combination of creativity, commitment, and sheer volume made him an obvious contender for Footage of the Year, proof that his approach to snowboarding is still pushing the whole thing forward.
