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
Coming soon…
Finding fresh tracks at one of the most popular mountain areas in Norway
Antti Autti returns to the North with a clear goal in mind: to spend a full month in the mountains, riding meaningful lines that could earn a place on his Arctic Lines tick list.
As a professional snowboarder, he’s often had the luxury of waiting for perfect conditions. This time, he’s doing things differently. By giving himself just one month—a fixed window—he’s embracing the same challenge most freeriders face: planning a trip in advance and dealing with whatever the weather brings. It’s a test of adaptability, patience, and mindset.
His journey begins in the northern reaches of the Lyngen Peninsula, at a well-known peak—Bjørndalstinden. It’s one of the most popular backcountry zones in Norway, where countless tracks often trace the same familiar paths.
But while most riders head straight for the obvious lines, Antti sees the mountain differently. He’s here not only to chase good snow, but to reconnect with rhythm—both mentally and physically—in one of his favorite zones for freeriding. He calls this place Golden Keyboards: a massive bowl-shaped formation rich with potential. From afar, it’s clear there are lines scattered across its flanks—each one unique—but for some reason, most people only hike to the first obvious pitch, leaving the rest untouched.
To truly kick off his month-long journey, Antti sets out to ride three distinct lines. Each descent is a way to tune into the terrain, shake off the static of daily life, and remind himself why this part of Norway continues to inspire him year after year.
And on the very first day, something special happens. As Antti makes his way toward the zone, he crosses paths with pro skiers Cody Townsend, Elyse Saugstad, and Nikolai Schirmer—who are also heading to Golden Keyboards. Rather than racing to see who can drop in first, the group shares a quiet, meaningful moment on the summit. It's a reminder that in the world of freeriding, some of the best memories are made not in competition, but in connection.

Episode 3: 50 Steps Couloir
Coming Soon…
Chasing fleeting weather windows with grit and laughter
Antti Autti and Tailer Gray team up in Lyngen to chase fleeting weather windows, navigating the unpredictable spring conditions in search of quality lines. As they move through the mountains, they link up with Finnish freeride pioneers Arto Majava and his spouse Saana, whose presence brings both inspiration and perspective.
Between storm cycles and summit pushes, the group shares moments of calm—riding clean snow, reconnecting with the roots of freeriding, and witnessing the northern lights dance overhead in the Arctic sky.
But the calm doesn’t last forever. After being forced to turn back from a line in the middle of the night, Antti and Tailer are faced with a choice: call it a day or push on without sleep to beat a rapidly closing weather window and attempt a stunning couloir known as The 50 Steps, hidden deep behind the highest peaks of Tromsø.
In the end, it’s a story about grit, laughter, and the willingness to embrace uncertainty—all in the name of freeriding’s purest moments.

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.
