BUG Visionaries: Endorphin
Endorphin is a ski film by Manon Loschi, shot during the winter of 2024/2025.
After several years competing on the Freeride World Tour, Manon felt the need to step away from the bibs and express her true self through a personal video project.
Endorphin is named after one of the brain’s “pleasure neurotransmitters” — and that’s exactly what Manon set out to capture: the pure joy of skiing, traveling, and sharing unforgettable moments.
The film was shot across a variety of iconic locations — Japan, Utah, Idaho, Alaska, and La Clusaz — offering a mix of deep snow, unique atmospheres, and raw emotion.
