Season 5
ARCTIC LINES SEASON 5
In the fifth season of Arctic Lines, professional snowboarder Antti Autti returns to the heart of the North — not to conquer, but to connect. After years of chasing perfect conditions and filming countless lines across the vast Arctic region, Antti now sets his sights not on how many lines he can ride, but on understanding why he rides them at all while using his own Freeriding Philosophy.
Season 5 is a reflection, a culmination of five winters spent navigating the raw, remote landscapes of northern Norway, Finland, and Sweden. It’s also a return to the essence of what first drew Antti to the Arctic: the stillness, the space, and the opportunity to define freeriding on his own terms.
For him, freeriding has become more than big descents or perfect turns.
It’s a mindset a deep connection to nature, a commitment to moving with intention, and a willingness to embrace the unknown. Through human-powered adventures and honest reflections, Arctic Lines is a journey inward as much as it is across snow.

Episode 1: OUTDOOR FLOW
Dive into Antti Autti’s freeriding philosophy. Something he likes a to call Outdoor Flow.
Freeriding isn’t just steep faces and perfect turns. It’s respecting the terrain, embracing uncertainty, and finding your own riding flow in nature. Outdoor Flow explores the principles that guide my riding and the key lessons from five years of creating Arctic Lines, and why the project continues to keep evolving through every new experience.

Episode 2: Golden Keyboards
Finding Rhythm Among Lyngen’s most popular peaks
In March 2025,
Antti Autti returned to Northern Norway with one goal: to spend a full month riding locations that might earn a spot on my Arctic Lines tick list.
The journey starts in one of the more tracked-out backcountry zones in the Lyngen Alps. Fresh skin tracks make it the perfect place to ease back into the rhythm of human-powered freeriding, mentally and physically,
while searching for fresh lines in a bowl he likes to call the Golden Keyboards.
As the day unfolds, things take an unexpected turn. Antti crosses paths with three legendary skiers who happen to be heading to the same area.
From there, the day takes on a shape of its own. Enjoy!

Episode 3: 50 Steps
Chasing fleeting weather windows with grit and laughter
We teamed up with Tailer Gray to navigate a tough weather cycle in search of quality lines. Along the way, Finnish freeride pioneers Arto Majava and Saana Saltevo join us, bringing support and perspective to what becomes a very long day.
50 Steps is a story of no sleep, northern lights, and finding grit through the simple joy of trying. We even invent a game to keep ourselves moving, but why is it called 50 Steps? Just watch and find out.

Episode 4: Lines Beyond Latitudes
Coming soon…
Pica Herry and Laurent Bibollet come from the heart of Chamonix, where the mountains are steep, the lines are technical, and riding is a dance with gravity—fast, committed, and surgical. Their snowboards carve fall-line descents through narrow couloirs, where every move is calculated and escape routes are few. It’s a style born in the vertical world, shaped by rock walls, seracs, and exposure.
Antti Autti, on the other hand, grew up in Rovaniemi, Finland—a place with no real mountains, just endless forests, rolling fells, and cold winters. His style was shaped not by altitude, but by exploration: smooth, expressive snowboarding that flows with terrain rather than conquers it.
But now, deep into his career, Antti is asking himself a question: What kind of freeriding truly moves me? To find out, he knows he needs to connect with riders whose desire to climb the mountain is just as strong as their drive to ride it down.
When the three meet in Lyngen Alps of Northern Norway—where the sea meets the mountains and the weather keeps its own rhythm—the question becomes a journey.
Antti wants to see how great these Frenchmen truly are, and more than that, to understand if there is common ground—not by riding the same way, but by riding with the same spirit: open, adaptive, and driven by joy.

Episode 5: Pedal & Peak
Coming soon…
New ways to ride and to reflect
In Pedal & Peak, Antti Autti ventures into a remote mountain zone he’s never explored — where maps offer few clues and the smartest way in is by bike.
With snowlines retreating and spring approaches growing longer, Antti adapts by pedaling deep into the backcountry, using two wheels to reach untouched snow and untapped freeride potential.
As he rides, Antti reflects on five seasons of Arctic Lines—years of pushing limits, learning from the Arctic’s raw and shifting landscape, and discovering that freeriding is about much more than speed or steep lines. For him, the most important part lies in the connection: to the mountain, to the moment, and to the journey itself.
Pedal & Peak is more than a search for new lines—it’s a story of entering the unknown with open eyes, harnessing human power to bridge the gap between seasons, and seeking the deeper answer to a fundamental question: What truly lies at the heart of freeriding?
As one chapter closes, Antti looks ahead—not just for new terrain, but for new ways to ride, to reflect, and to reconnect with his motivations as both an athlete and a person in the northern landscapes he calls home.
